UNSPSC 50335827: Dried organic elephant heart plums

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

UNSPSC 50335827 Dried organic elephant heart plums is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to that narrow specification. The code appears in school nutrition, corrections food service, and county procurement contexts, yet the actual solicitations posted under it encompass broad fresh produce, groceries, and prepared food categories rather than dried organic elephant heart plums specifically. Issuing bodies across the dataset include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county government (Santa Clara County, California), and city education departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with food service contracting appearing consistently across elementary, middle, and high school networks.

Geographic concentration centers on Georgia, where multiple school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) and the state procurement office have posted overlapping fresh produce and grocery solicitations between January and June 2026, with secondary activity in Virginia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, an IFB posted June 10, 2026 with response due June 26, 2026, soliciting over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus for three school delivery sites under Buy American requirements; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, an IFB posted April 6, 2026 with response due April 27, 2026, seeking grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with minimum three-year vendor experience; and the County of Santa Clara dried fruits and nuts ITB posted January 28, 2026 with response due February 5, 2026, requesting dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for detention facility food services on a five-year contract with local business preference. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests the code may be incorrectly applied in state and local systems or used as a catch-all placeholder for commodity food procurement.
