UNSPSC 50335821: Dried organic damson plum

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

UNSPSC 50335821 Dried organic damson plum is a Commodity code that captures school nutrition and institutional food procurement activity in which state and local education agencies and correctional departments source dried fruit products, typically as components of larger food and produce supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy dried fruit — including dried prunes and dried plums — as part of broad cafeteria and nutrition center supply agreements that also encompass fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments of education and criminal justice (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city purchasing offices acting on behalf of school nutrition programs. The work involves sealed-bid IFB and RFQ processes with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP planning, and delivery to multiple school or institutional locations on specified schedules.

The code shows recent activity across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce solicitation (IFB #SN002-2027, Hancock County Board of Education, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items with delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases procurement of commodities for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) spanning 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products solicitation (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026 following an extension via Addendum No. 2) covering approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532) specifically solicited whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality at 60–70 count size with a 1,400-box minimum order for delivery to Corpus Christi, with a revised bid opening date of February 20, 2026.
