UNSPSC 50325871: Dried royal zee plums

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

UNSPSC 50325871 Dried royal zee plums (Commodity) describes fresh and processed produce items purchased by school districts and state agencies for cafeteria and nutrition programs, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity focused specifically on dried plums. The work encompasses acquisition of fresh produce and specialty food items for institutional feeding operations, ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables to processed commodities. Issuing bodies include school districts (independent school boards and municipal boards of education), state agencies (Georgia and Texas departments managing criminal justice and nutrition services), and municipal purchasing offices. School districts dominate recent activity, particularly those soliciting fresh produce on annual cycles for school year nutrition contracts.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issuing IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across 200+ line items (apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, melons) for delivery to three school sites with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issuing RFB for 115 line items of food commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruit and vegetable products) to the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce across six distribution points; and TDCJ issuing Bid IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location, with the due date revised via Amendment No. 1 to February 20, 2026.
