UNSPSC 50325847: Dried late rosa plums

The variety of plums known as late rosa plums that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325847 Dried late rosa plums, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of dried fruit products primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state prison systems buying dried plums and related dried fruit as components of broader food-service commodity packages. Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) solicited fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year, though the posting does not isolate dried plums as a separately itemized line. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, packed 25 pounds per box, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location; the response deadline was February 20, 2026 (amended from February 18). Both school districts and correctional institutions are the primary issuing bodies under this code, supplemented by state purchasing on behalf of multiple agencies. The Buy American provision and USDA compliance requirements appear standard across these solicitations, with firm pricing expected for multi-year contract terms.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, where recent opportunities reflect ongoing school-nutrition and institutional food-service demand. The Texas TDCJ procurement signals sustained purchasing of dried fruit as part of institutional dietary programs across multiple warehouse distribution points. School districts in the Southeast (Hancock County, Georgia) are active bidders. A broader Georgia state food-supplies procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) included dried fruits within its scope, though the full line-item detail is contained in an attached document not reproduced here. The Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education (Department of Public Purchases, IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) solicited 115 commodity line items spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit products, again without explicit isolation of dried plums. Activity is recent and concentrated in school-lunch programs and state corrections food service, with no evidence of significant private or municipal nonnutrition-service demand under this code in the available records.
