UNSPSC 50335800: Dried organic plums

Any of numerous trees and shrubs (genus prunus) with globular to oval smooth-skinned fruits that are drupes with oblong seeds that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335800 Dried organic plums is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit and processed produce items for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing dried fruits as components of broader grocery or commodity buys, and specialized institutional buyers procuring specific dried-fruit line items to meet nutritional and portion-control requirements in high-volume feeding operations. The code sees activity from state departments of education, county and city school districts, county sheriffs' offices, and state departments of corrections across multiple states; school nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, with requests typically bundled into larger fresh produce, grocery commodity, or cafeteria food product solicitations that include dried fruits alongside fresh and frozen items.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California, with school districts issuing the majority of recent IFBs and RFPs. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, and vegetables for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school locations; the County of Santa Clara (California) issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 due February 5, 2026, for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to support the Sheriff's Department Correctional Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility on a five-year firm-fixed contract; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (60–70 count, 25-pound boxes) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes, bid opening February 20, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued broad-scope grocery and food product IFBs in spring 2026 that enumerate dried fruit items alongside fresh produce and other staples. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content appear consistently in school nutrition RFPs and IFBs; USDA grading standards, HACCP compliance, and firm-fixed pricing for the contract year are standard terms.
