UNSPSC 50335836: Dried organic greengage plums

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

UNSPSC 50335836 Dried organic greengage plums is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically targeting dried greengages or other dried stone fruits. The code sees use primarily in school district nutrition programs and state correctional facilities that source through broad-based food commodities solicitations covering proteins, dairy, grains, fresh produce, and processed foods. When dried fruit appears in these notices, it typically occupies a small line item within larger food procurement efforts rather than forming a standalone commodity category. School districts issuing fresh produce and prepared-food solicitations—such as Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut—tend to emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables over dried products, reflecting USDA meal-pattern requirements under the National School Lunch Act. State and federal correctional facilities represent a secondary but consistent buyer pool; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a separate Invitation for Bid in April 2026 specifically for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, suggesting that dried stone fruits do move through corrections procurement channels but as specialized line items rather than high-volume commodity purchases.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce on June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for three school delivery sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Contracts and Procurement Department posted a solicitation for whole pitted dried prunes in April 2026 with a February 20, 2026 due date (noted as issued after the stated close date, indicating a past solicitation now archived), specifying U.S. Grade B quality in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Corpus Christi delivery. The State of Georgia issued a broader commodities request on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, with scope contained in an attached document. Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products apply across school nutrition solicitations, and both school district and corrections procurements require HACCP plans, USDA compliance certification, and product-specific nutritional data.
