UNSPSC 50325859: Dried primetime plums

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

UNSPSC 50325859 Dried primetime plums, a Commodity code, encompasses dried fruit procurement for state and local institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations under this code involve sealed bids and invitations for bid for preserved fruit products delivered to cafeteria and nutrition centers. School districts and state corrections departments dominate the issuing-body mix; Hancock County Schools in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have each posted opportunities in the past six months. The scope of work reflects institutional food sourcing at scale — dried prunes and similar preserved fruits bundled with broader food commodity packages for kitchen operations, with emphasis on USDA grading compliance, food safety certifications (HACCP plans where applicable), and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, driven primarily by state corrections procurement and school nutrition operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with a response deadline of May 4, 2026, and a separate bid for whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count size, 1,400 boxes minimum) due February 20, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline, and the City of Bridgeport posted a commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026. Pricing is typically firm-fixed for the contract term, delivery is destination freight prepaid, and awards are frequently made to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid or best value criteria. No specific contract values are disclosed in available documentation.
