UNSPSC 50325872: Dried roysum plums

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

UNSPSC 50325872 Dried roysum plums, a Commodity code, captures state and local purchasing of dried fruit products for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations show school districts and corrections departments procuring dried fruits as standalone line items within broader grocery and fresh produce contracts, though the code's narrow focus on a specific dried plum variety sees limited standalone activity compared to broader dried-fruit and produce procurement.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all actively soliciting food products for K-12 nutrition programs in recent months. Correctional food services also appear as a secondary segment, as illustrated by Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts solicitation for its correctional facility and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's dried prune procurement. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia in particular), with representation from the Midwest (Missouri), Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), West Coast (California), and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of fresh and processed produce with delivery to three school sites; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's dried prunes solicitation (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) for U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count sizes packed in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) requiring dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix plus walnuts and pecans on an all-or-none basis for its correctional food service. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed products) and USDA compliance standards appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, while correctional facilities emphasize specific grade certifications and nutritional specifications. Most school nutrition contracts run July 1 through June 30 with annual fixed pricing and renewal options; payment terms typically fall between Net 30 and Net 45 days.
