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 is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure dried fruit products for institutional food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facility dining systems. Recent solicitations frame the work concretely: school districts and state corrections departments issue IFBs for dried and fresh produce to supply cafeterias and nutrition centers, with specifications covering case sizes, unit counts, USDA grade requirements, packaging standards, and delivery logistics. The code sees activity from school districts (independent and county-level boards of education), state corrections departments, and municipal nutrition agencies. Issuing bodies enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP plans with 24-hour recall accessibility, and compliance with USDA, USDC, and FDA grade and handling standards. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, and contracts span 12 to 24 months with optional renewal periods. Vendors must carry commercial general liability insurance, maintain E-Verify authorization, provide debarment and suspension certifications, and accept firm-fixed pricing across the contract term unless major market changes trigger 30-day advance notice requests.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh and dried produce covering over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
