UNSPSC 50335834: Dried organic grand rosa plums

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

UNSPSC 50335834 Dried organic grand rosa plums is a Commodity code covering dried fruit products state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state criminal-justice systems purchasing dried prunes and related dried fruit primarily as ingredients within broader fresh and processed produce contracts or as standalone specialty commodity items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a dedicated IFB for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, in 25-pound boxes, signaling that dried fruit remains a regular line item in institutional cafeteria procurement. Broader school nutrition RFPs from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) encompass fresh produce across 200+ line items but do not explicitly itemize dried plums; however, the UNSPSC tag suggests dried fruit commodities fall within the nutrition-supply ecosystem these school districts actively source. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products and HACCP protocols apply across school nutrition solicitations, shaping vendor compliance requirements.

Geographic activity centers on the South and Northeast, with recent postings from Georgia (Hancock County Schools and State of Georgia general food supplies), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ facilities statewide). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, joined by state departments and correctional systems. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued the most recent dried-fruit-specific opportunity—Bid No. IW236532 for prunes with a revised due date of February 20, 2026—and Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce (SY27) due June 26, 2026 across three school locations in Georgia. The City of Bridgeport posted a broader commodities RFP (BNB053266) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026, requiring electronic submission through OpenGov Procurement. All nutrition-focused solicitations mandate firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, advance insurance documentation, and USDA compliance certification.
