UNSPSC 50335817: Dried organic burgundy plums

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

UNSPSC 50335817 Dried organic burgundy plums is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct solicitation for this specific item. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and state correctional agencies seeking dried fruit products to support student meal programs and institutional food service operations. The work involves supplying dried, pitted prunes or plums meeting USDA Grade B specifications, typically in bulk quantities (60–70 count sizing, packed in sealed food-grade polybags within cardboard boxes) with full grade certification and traceability documentation. Contracting bodies include independent school districts, state departments of education, and corrections departments; the issuing-body mix reflects institutional food procurement by education and public-safety agencies rather than a diverse vendor base.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the South and show school nutrition as the primary driver. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued IFB No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, 1,400 boxes minimum to Delivery Area 1) with a revised bid opening of February 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school locations, though this solicitation emphasizes fresh rather than dried fruit and does not isolate dried plums as a distinct line item. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the State of Georgia also posted broader commodity solicitations in May and June 2026 for multiple food products supplying school nutrition centers, with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items. Direct matching of the UNSPSC code to recent state and local opportunities is sparse; the code appears active primarily through TDCJ procurement and school district food service contracts, but most recent school nutrition solicitations bundle dried fruit within larger fresh-produce or general-commodity RFQs rather than isolating dried organic burgundy plums as a standalone line item.
