UNSPSC 50325867: Dried rich red plums

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

UNSPSC 50325867 Dried rich red plums (Commodity) covers dried plum products procured by state and local governments, primarily for K-12 school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are acquiring dried plums and related dried fruit products in bulk format—typically in cases containing individual packets or whole-fruit packaging—to meet USDA nutritional specifications for school meals and institutional food services. The code reflects a narrow, specialized product line within the broader dried-fruit commodity space; activity centers on school districts and state criminal-justice agencies sourcing shelf-stable dried fruit items to meet child nutrition requirements and facility food-service needs.

School districts dominate solicitation activity under this code, with Georgia and Texas showing the most recent competitive opportunities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items including dried fruits and specialty entrees across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, and separately issued Bid No. IW236532 (response due February 20, 2026) specifically for whole, pitted, U.S. Grade B dried prunes in 60-70 count size packed 25 pounds per box with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus Christi location. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (response due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for the Elmwood Correctional Facility, with all items required to meet Title 15 California nutritional standards and zero-added-sugar specifications. Georgia school districts—including Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County (through the GEC Buying Cooperative), and Savannah-Chatham County—have solicited fresh produce and grocery items encompassing dried fruit components, though these remain part of broader food-service contracts rather than standalone dried-plum procurements. The code shows limited standalone activity; most recent opportunities tag dried fruit as one line item within larger food-service or grocery aggregations, signaling that dedicated dried-plum vendors should expect to compete within multi-category, all-or-none bid structures or commodity roll-ups rather than as a distinct procurement vehicle.
