UNSPSC 50325858: Dried president plums

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

UNSPSC 50325858 Dried president plums (Commodity) represents a narrow food procurement line item sourced by school districts and corrections agencies for institutional meal programs. State and local governments buy dried prunes under this code as bulk ingredients for cafeteria and institutional kitchen operations, typically in standardized packaging (cardboard boxes containing sealed polybags of whole pitted fruit) and specific USDA grades. The issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition programs and state corrections departments procuring through their respective procurement offices.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Hancock County Schools, Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, requesting fresh and specialty produce for the 2026–27 school year with a response deadline of June 26, 2026; the solicitation encompasses over 200 line items but does not isolate dried prunes as a line item. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Contracts and Procurement Department, issued Bid No. IW236532 in April 2026 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 Area 1; the original response deadline of February 18, 2026, was amended to February 20, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026), covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products but not specifically dried prunes.
