UNSPSC 50335806: Dried organic autumn pride plums

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

UNSPSC 50335806 Dried organic autumn pride plums, Commodity tier, covers dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs. The code encompasses dried stone fruits meeting USDA grade specifications and packaging standards, delivered to cafeteria distribution centers and school kitchens. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with supplementary procurement from state corrections and food-service operations; these jurisdictions procure dried fruits as part of broader commodity food contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, and prepared items to meet federal nutrition and Buy American requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary representation in Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 in April 2026 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (60–70 count size) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes of 25 pounds each for delivery to the Corpus Christi location, response due February 20, 2026 with Amendment No. 1 acknowledged. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026–27 school year (response due June 26, 2026), with delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products (response due June 26, 2026) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services issued a broader food-supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026 with scope details in an attached PDF. Dried fruit appears consistently within larger school-nutrition and institutional-food procurements rather than as standalone line items, reflecting bulk purchasing patterns and inventory-management practices at the school-district and state-agency level.
