UNSPSC 50325858: Dried president plums

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

UNSPSC 50325858 Dried president plums, a Commodity code, covers dried stone fruits procured by state and local jurisdictions—primarily school districts and corrections agencies—for meal programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school nutrition programs are the dominant buyer under this code, supplemented by corrections departments. The scope encompasses whole pitted dried prunes and similar dried fruit products meeting USDA grade specifications, typically Grade B quality, packaged in sealed food-grade containers with detailed packaging and portion-size requirements. Procurement is integrated into larger fresh and frozen produce contracts as a commodity line item or, occasionally, as a standalone supply agreement when volumes and usage patterns justify dedicated solicitation.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California dominate recent activity, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County corrections also active. Representative opportunities include a Texas TDCJ Invitation for Bid (IFB) 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 (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026), and Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bids for dried fruits and nuts supporting its detention facility food service, which specified dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on a five-year contract with pricing firm in Year 1 (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026). School district aggregated buys—Hancock County Schools in Georgia (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri (due April 29, 2026)—typically embed dried fruit lines within broad fresh and processed produce solicitations, with Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed items) and HACCP food safety plans standard across all jurisdictions.
