UNSPSC 50325864: Dried red lane plums

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

UNSPSC 50325864 Dried red lane plums, a Commodity code, represents dried stone fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. School districts and state corrections departments source these items through competitively bid food-service contracts that require USDA-grade certification, specific packaging standards, and compliance with the Buy American provision mandating minimum domestic content thresholds for processed products. The code captures dried fruit as a shelf-stable commodity within larger food-procurement vehicles that bundle proteins, fresh produce, dairy, grains, and specialty items to supply cafeteria operations across multiple sites.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and school districts in both states driving current solicitations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products on behalf of TDCJ with a response due date of May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items including dried fruits among proteins and frozen specialty entrees for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points; the TDCJ also issued Bid No. IW236532 specifically for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a 1,400-box minimum order for Corpus Christi delivery, with a February 20, 2026 bid opening. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; while that solicitation emphasizes fresh items, it demonstrates the school-nutrition market's scale and Buy American compliance requirements. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products. Awards typically go to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid or best value, with firm pricing for contract terms running through June 2027 or beyond.
