UNSPSC 50335809: Dried organic betty anne plums

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

UNSPSC 50335809 Dried organic betty anne plums is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers treat this code broadly within institutional food procurement rather than as a specialized organic product category—the work encompasses dried prunes and similar dried fruit items specified by USDA grade, packaging format, portion size, and delivery timeline to school cafeterias, nutrition centers, and corrections warehouse locations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal purchasing departments acting on behalf of education and corrections operations. The institutional food-service focus means vendors must meet Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products, maintain USDA compliance documentation, carry commercial general liability insurance, and accept firm fixed pricing over contract terms typically running one to two years with FOB Destination and prepaid freight delivery.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas with a May 4, 2026 response deadline and approximately 382 line items including dried fruits. Separately, TDCJ issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, 1,400 boxes minimum for Delivery Area 1) with a February 20, 2026 bid opening and contract specialist Daton Splawn; Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce and specialty items under IFB #SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 sealed-bid deadline and three school delivery locations in Sparta, Georgia; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (solicitation BNB053266, due June 26, 2026, electronic submission via OpenGov Procurement Portal). No specific contract value or budget ceiling appears in the available documentation for any of these opportunities.
