UNSPSC 50325853: Dried mirabelle plum

The variety of plums known as mirabelle plum that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325853 Dried mirabelle plum (Commodity) covers dried fruit products that state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other institutional food service operations procure for meal preparation and distribution. Recent solicitations show purchasing concentrated in fresh and processed produce for K–12 school lunch programs and institutional cafeterias, though the code's nominal scope (dried mirabelle plum specifically) appears underrepresented in current activity; the representative opportunities instead reflect broader dried and fresh fruit procurement across multiple produce categories and protein items. School districts and state corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies, supplemented by city-level education departments managing central nutrition operations.

Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027 under the Buy American provision requiring 51 percent domestic content. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities (115 line items including fruit and vegetable products) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and Net 45 payment terms. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items including dried and fresh fruits and vegetables for multiple warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532) targeted whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60–70 count size at U.S. Grade B quality, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with procurement patterns reflecting school lunch and corrections food service demand.
