UNSPSC 50325866: Dried red rosa plums

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

UNSPSC 50325866 Dried red rosa plums is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of processed dried fruit products for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities under this code center on seasonal fresh produce sourcing for school lunch programs and broader food commodity contracts that include dried fruits as line items within larger portfolios; the code's nominal scope (dried red rosa plums specifically) appears narrower than the range of dried and processed fruit items state and local buyers actually source through related food procurement vehicles. School districts and state corrections agencies drive the bulk of visible activity, with school nutrition departments soliciting multi-hundred-item fresh produce and commodity packages that encompass dried fruits alongside fresh and frozen products, while state-level food procurement for correctional facilities spans both individual commodity purchases (such as prunes) and consolidated multi-item contracts covering proteins, grains, and preserved fruits together.

Activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent IFBs from Hancock County Schools in Georgia (due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (original due April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026). The Texas TDCJ Prunes solicitation (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) most directly targets dried fruit in isolation, calling for U.S. Grade B whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size, packed in 25-pound sealed boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1 (Corpus location). Most other recent opportunities embed dried and preserved fruits within larger food commodity packages: the Hancock County Schools IFB covers 200-plus fresh produce line items with delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport's commodity bid spans 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products alongside proteins and dairy; and the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (attached documents not fully detailed in the source) signals a consolidated approach to food provisioning. School nutrition programs typically require Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic content for processed products and enforce HACCP plans and E-Verify authorization; IFBs are the standard notice type, with sealed bids and firm fixed pricing over multi-year terms (commonly July through June school-year cycles or calendar-year periods through June 30 of the following year).
