UNSPSC 50335803: Dried organic aurora plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic aurora plums that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335803 Dried organic aurora plums, a Commodity code, covers dried stone fruits and organic produce variants procured by state and local education and corrections agencies for institutional food service. State and local governments under this code buy dried fruit products—primarily dried prunes, dried plums, and related dried stone fruits—for inclusion in meal programs, alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and bulk staple ingredients. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer segment across multiple jurisdictions sourcing both fresh and processed fruits as components of larger food-service contracts.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. IW236532 in April 2026 (due February 20, 2026) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, packed in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus Christi location; Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple fruit and vegetable varieties for the 2026–27 school year; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. All school and corrections contracts enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and HACCP or USDA compliance documentation. Delivery consolidates to institutional warehouse or school locations on FOB destination terms with payment within 30–45 days of receipt and inspection.
