UNSPSC 50335845: Dried organic king james plums

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

UNSPSC 50335845 Dried organic king james plums is a Commodity code that nominally covers dried plum products, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show limited direct alignment with the specific product category. School nutrition programs represent the primary buying activity, with two major school-district solicitations (Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) seeking fresh produce, not dried plums, under general commodity RFPs and IFBs in June 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a dedicated IFB for whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026 under a separate bid (IW236532), meeting the narrower scope of the UNSPSC code, but this represents institutional foodservice procurement rather than school nutrition. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state-level purchasing on behalf of state agencies (State of Georgia for food, supplies, and kitchen products; Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and other criminal-justice institutions. School-nutrition programs dominate the tagged opportunities, each requiring Buy American compliance with a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products and delivery to multiple institutional locations on firm-fixed pricing through June 2027.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with solicitations from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline seeking over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties for the 2026-27 school year, with delivery to three school locations and contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted an IFB (BNB053266) due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items of commodity foods including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with contract term through June 30, 2027, and MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for a Corpus location and an amended due date of February 20, 2026. The code shows sparse and misaligned recent activity—the majority of opportunities tagged here are general fresh-produce and commodity-food RFPs for school nutrition that do not specifically target dried plums or organic specialty dried fruits.
