UNSPSC 50325876 Dried St Catherine plum (Commodity) covers dried plum products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity shows the code capturing a broader spectrum of fresh and processed produce and food commodities than the code name alone suggests. School districts and state correctional departments are the primary buyers, soliciting under this code for items ranging from fresh produce delivered to school nutrition centers to canned and frozen foods for correctional facility cafeterias. The work involves competitive bidding (IFB and RFQ) for single-year or multi-year supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), and delivery to multiple institutional locations. Vendors must provide HACCP or USDA compliance documentation, proof of insurance, and certifications addressing debarment status and equal employment opportunity.
