UNSPSC 50335813: Dried organic black giant plums

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

UNSPSC 50335813 Dried organic black giant plums is a Commodity code covering dried fruit products procured by school districts and state institutional-food buyers to supply student nutrition and correctional-facility dining operations. State and local governments buy under this code as part of broader fresh and processed produce solicitations that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and fruit products for centralized nutrition distribution. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) both posting comprehensive produce and food-product IFBs in June 2026; state institutional buyers—specifically the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia—also procure on this category. The work involves furnishing USDA-graded food items with detailed packaging, quality, and shelf-life specifications; compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products; and FOB-destination delivery to multiple school or institutional sites with firm pricing for contract periods extending one to three years.

Recent solicitation activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26 due date, calling for over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce for delivery to three school locations during the 2026–27 school year under Buy American requirements and HACCP food-safety plans. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, requesting 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 in April 2026 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, 1,400-box minimum) to the Corpus Christi location, with a revised due date of February 20, 2026, demonstrating direct institutional demand for dried-fruit products. A broader State of Georgia food-supplies solicitation posted May 15, 2026, with a June 22 due date, encompasses additional food categories but full scope details are contained in an attachment document.
