UNSPSC 50335841: Dried organic interspecific type plums

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

UNSPSC 50335841 Dried organic interspecific type plums (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations tagged under this code. The source records show school districts, counties, and state agencies actively procuring fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and general grocery items for child nutrition programs and correctional facilities; one solicitation names dried prunes specifically, but the code's stated focus on dried organic interspecific plums appears narrower than the actual buying patterns in the dataset. Recent opportunities span school nutrition contracts, cafeteria food products, and fresh-produce supply across multiple states with firm-fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP/food-safety certifications, and weekly delivery requirements to schools, warehouses, and correction facilities. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal government (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state procurement (Georgia, Texas Comptroller), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). The solicitations emphasize lowest-responsive-bidder evaluation, fixed pricing for 12-month terms, multi-vendor awards on line-item basis, and compliance with USDA nutritional standards, domestic-content requirements, and liability insurance minimums of $1,000,000 commercial general liability.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), with additional solicitations in Texas (TDCJ, Comptroller), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items with July 1, 2026 contract start; City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruits, vegetables) with response due June 26, 2026 and pricing firm through June 30, 2027; Texas TDCJ's IFB for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items and response extended to May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 with response due April 27, 2026 requiring minimum 76 items; and Rockwood R-VI's electronic bid solicitation for over 900 grocery line items with response due April 29, 2026. The code shows active but misaligned recent procurement — substantial school-nutrition and corrections food-service volume exists, but the specific commodity classification (dried organic interspecific plums) does not match the breadth of fresh and processed foods actually being purchased.
