UNSPSC 50325875: Dried sloe plum

The variety of plums known as sloe plum that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325875 Dried sloe plum is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not reflect meaningful procurement volume. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no actual purchases of dried sloe plums; instead, the block contains school nutrition and institutional food-service solicitations spanning fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, cafeteria proteins, and dried fruits including raisins, cranberries, and walnuts. The code's nominal scope—a specific dried fruit variety—bears no clear relationship to the work state and local governments are actually buying under food-service contracts. School districts, county boards of education, and corrections departments are soliciting broad-based food supply and distribution services, but dried sloe plums do not appear as a line item in any of the recent opportunities examined.

The mismatch between the code definition and recent procurement activity suggests either miscoding in source data or minimal actual demand for this commodity within state and local government food-service procurement. The active geographic markets for food-service contracting shown in the recent block—Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), California (County of Santa Clara), Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools)—are pursuing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees on annual or multi-year contracts, but no jurisdiction has solicited dried sloe plums as a standalone commodity. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as inactive and verify coding accuracy in future opportunities before investing in pursuit strategy.
