UNSPSC 50325869: Dried royal diamond plums

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

UNSPSC 50325869 Dried royal diamond plums is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, covers dried and fresh stone fruits and specialty produce items procured for institutional food service operations. The code shows limited direct activity for the specific "dried royal diamond plums" product; instead, recent opportunities span broader institutional fresh produce and food commodities frameworks where dried plums appear as one line item among hundreds. State and local procurement under this code is driven primarily by school districts and correctional agencies. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia recently issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issues separate, targeted procurements for specific dried fruits such as whole pitted prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) in addition to larger cafeteria food product RFQs. Most school nutrition and correctional food service procurement requires Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed items), HACCP plans, USDA grade certification, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple institutional sites.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Texas shows the most consistent activity, with both the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice and the TDCJ issuing direct institutional food service RFQs covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria products (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, response due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2). The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with full scope details in an attachment. School districts in Georgia and Connecticut have shown recent activity under this code. Institutional food service operators responding to these opportunities typically face firm fixed pricing with no separate fuel surcharges, payment within 30 to 45 days of inspection, multiple delivery locations per contract, and compliance with state debarment, E-Verify, insurance, and product-liability requirements; vendors must also maintain 24-hour emergency stock availability and order fulfillment through online systems such as TITAN School Solutions in some jurisdictions.
