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 in practice covers dried prunes and related dried stone fruits procured by state and local education and corrections agencies to supply school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and state departments of corrections purchasing dried fruit as a shelf-stable protein and nutrient-dense component of cafeteria menus and institutional meal plans. The scope of work includes procurement of whole, pitted dried prunes in specified count sizes (typically 60–70 count) packed in food-grade polybags within sealed cardboard boxes, with USDA Grade B certification and detailed quality and packaging requirements. Issuing bodies include county and municipal school boards, state departments of education, and state correctional agencies; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) appear as recent buyers.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with multiple line items including dried fruits and proteins, due May 4, 2026. The same agency issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to Corpus Christi, originally due February 18, 2026, and amended to February 20, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year with a due date of June 26, 2026; this solicitation emphasizes apples, berries, and fresh vegetables rather than dried fruit, indicating that dried stone fruits appear as specialty items in broader school nutrition procurement rather than as standalone line items.
