UNSPSC 50335846: Dried organic laroda plums

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

UNSPSC 50335846 Dried organic laroda plums (Commodity) covers dried plum products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies for institutional food service. The code sees modest but steady activity across school district nutrition programs and state corrections departments purchasing dried plums as commodity ingredients for cafeteria operations, typically as components of broader food-supply contracts rather than standalone items. Recent solicitations name dried plums alongside fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, and other kitchen staples in consolidated food-procurement packages; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted dedicated dried-plum line items within larger institutional food contracts.

Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state corrections agencies. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, response due June 26, 2026) solicited fresh produce including specialty items but did not isolate dried plums in its posted scope. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Bid No. IW236532, posted April 23, 2026) issued a focused solicitation for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, packed in 25-pound boxes, minimum order 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1, with a revised response date of February 20, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases and the State of Georgia also posted broad commodities solicitations covering food products for school nutrition and corrections use during May and June 2026, though neither isolated dried plums in their posted summaries. Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut. No set-asides or vendor restrictions appear in the recent postings. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) apply to school nutrition solicitations under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
