UNSPSC 50335828: Dried organic emerald beaut plums

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

UNSPSC 50335828 Dried organic emerald beaut plums, a Commodity code, encompasses dried stone fruit procured primarily by school districts and state correctional departments for cafeteria and food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show school nutrition programs and corrections facilities sourcing dried fruit as part of broader fresh and processed produce buys, though the code's highly specific product designation—emerald beaut plums in particular—appears narrower than the actual purchasing activity recorded. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with school meal programs and institutional feeding representing the core use cases. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products apply across school nutrition solicitations, and MBE/CBE certifications are leveraged where applicable under local ordinances.
