UNSPSC 50325873: Dried santa rosa plums

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

UNSPSC 50325873 Dried santa rosa plums is a Commodity code capturing whole, pitted dried prunes and similar dried stone fruits that state and local governments buy primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public dining operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and criminal justice agencies sourcing these items as part of broader fresh-produce and dried-fruit procurement to meet USDA nutrition standards, with products specified by grade, count size, packaging, and shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County, California), and state criminal justice departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These are demand-driven, annual-term buys with firm pricing and occasional price redetermination tied to commodity indexes or documented manufacturer increases.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Texas, California, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut, driven by large school districts and state corrections systems. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued ITB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic regions with response due May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items including dried specialty entrees and fruit items; the same agency previously issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, with delivery to Texas facilities and a minimum order of 1,400 boxes (25 pounds each), with the due date amended to February 20, 2026. Santa Clara County, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts including dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none, five-year contract with bids due February 5, 2026. School districts typically bundle dried fruits within larger grocery or produce solicitations rather than sole-source; Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI issued a grocery-items bid (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027) covering over 900 line items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026. Buy American and nutritional compliance — including HACCP certification, shelf-life thresholds, and USDA grade standards — are standard contract requirements across all issuing bodies.
