UNSPSC 50325851: Dried marked black plums

The variety of plums known as marked black plums that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325851 Dried marked black plums is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement spans dried fruit products supplied to school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and county corrections agencies purchasing dried plums and related dried fruits—raisins, cranberries, walnuts, and pecans—primarily as components of nutrition menus and inmate food service. The scope is narrow and specialized; dried plums themselves appear only once in the recent opportunities block, while broader dried-fruit-and-nuts categories drive most activity under related codes in this product family. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) among recent solicitors, alongside one county corrections agency (Santa Clara County, California). State nutrition programs and centralized school-nutrition cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) also participate.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the Mid-Atlantic, with secondary presence in California and Missouri. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, encompassing 200+ line items across fresh fruits and vegetables with no specific dried-plum component itemized in available documents. Santa Clara County, California, issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts on February 5, 2026, requiring five dried-fruit line items (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) on an all-or-none basis for correctional food services, with a five-year contract term and firm pricing for Year 1. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), with proposals due March 4, 2026. Dried marked black plums as a discrete commodity line item do not appear prominently in the recent opportunities; the code shows limited direct solicitation activity relative to broader fresh-produce and dried-fruit-and-nuts categories that dominate school nutrition procurement.
