UNSPSC 50335816: Dried organic blackamber plums

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

UNSPSC 50335816 Dried organic blackamber plums, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products that state and local governments procure for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and other institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and county corrections systems buying dried fruits—including raisins, cranberries, and specialty fruit blends—alongside fresh produce, proteins, and staple groceries as components of broader nutrition supply contracts rather than as standalone dried-fruit-only awards. The code sees activity from school nutrition programs (elementary through high school districts), county corrections departments, and state agencies managing institutional feeding operations, with school districts representing the dominant buyer segment across recent opportunities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the County of Santa Clara, California ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (Dried Fruits and Nuts, due February 5, 2026) procuring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for the Sheriff's Department Correction—Food Services; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) soliciting fresh produce including specialty items for the 2026–27 school year; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for Food Products, due April 29, 2026) seeking over 400 food items with Buy American compliance for school nutrition services; and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) procuring fresh produce and eggs across 30 participating districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. School districts dominate the code's recent activity and typically bundle dried fruits with fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods in annual competitive solicitations requiring firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance certifications, HACCP documentation, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed weekly schedules.
