UNSPSC 50335815: Dried organic black splendor plums

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

UNSPSC 50335815 Dried organic black splendor plums is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the recent state and local contract opportunities associated with it. The code's nominal scope—dried organic black splendor plums—appears in none of the solicitations posted under this code in the past six months. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), proteins, dairy, grains, eggs, and miscellaneous grocery items procured by school districts, county correctional systems, and state agencies. The work being solicited is school nutrition meal-service supply, correctional facility food service, and district-wide grocery provisioning, typically on annual fixed-price contracts with weekly or as-needed delivery to multiple sites. Issuing bodies include state departments of criminal justice and education agencies, county and city school boards, county sheriffs' offices, and regional purchasing cooperatives. School districts represent the largest share of recent activity, with repeat solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri).

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with recent opportunities also posted from Virginia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and California. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, sealed bids due June 26, 2026); City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases for Board of Education Nutrition commodities (IFB, electronic submission due June 26, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026); Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026 with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two); and County of Santa Clara dried fruits and nuts for correctional food services (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, bids due February 5, 2026 with five-year contract term). The code exhibits consistent activity but displays a fundamental misclassification—the commodity categorization does not align with the diverse, broad-based grocery and food-service procurement that soliciting agencies are actually conducting under this code number.
