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, a Commodity code, covers whole dried prunes and related dried stone fruits that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state criminal justice departments buying dried prunes by the case — typically whole, pitted, U.S. Grade B fruit in specific count sizes packed in sealed food-grade bags within cardboard boxes — as components of larger food supply contracts. The work encompasses responding to detailed product specifications (grade certification, packaging, count size, shelf life), managing firm fixed pricing across contract periods, and arranging FOB Destination delivery to multiple institutional locations. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The code sees activity across multiple states, with recent documented procurement in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products including dried fruits, with responses due May 4, 2026, and contract performance across five TDCJ warehouse locations in Texas. The same agency issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Corpus Christi delivery and a bid opening of February 20, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with over 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026) requiring compliance with Buy American domestic-content provisions and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids on commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (response due June 26, 2026 through the OpenGov portal) covering 115 line items with MBE/CBE eligibility under city ordinance and Net 45 payment terms.
