UNSPSC 50335847: Dried organic late rosa plums

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

UNSPSC 50335847 Dried organic late rosa plums (Commodity) does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried fruit product — organic late rosa plums — but the twelve most recent solicitations in the source use this code tag for broad food-service procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and regional cooperative buying groups, spanning fresh produce contracts, comprehensive grocery and cafeteria food supply agreements, and dried fruits and nuts. Only one solicitation (Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for Dried Fruits and Nuts) involves dried fruit products at all, and that procurement encompasses raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans — not dried plums.

State and local procurement offices — primarily school districts and public corrections agencies across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California — are tagging broad, mixed-commodity food solicitations with this code rather than drilling down to commodity-specific codes. School nutrition programs dominate the activity: Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, and Douglas County Schools have all posted IFBs and RFPs for annual fresh produce, grocery items, and food supply contracts due between late February and late June 2026, with contract periods running July 2026 through June 2027. Non-school procurers include the State of Georgia (food and kitchen products), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria products and dried prunes), and Santa Clara County Sheriff (dried fruits and nuts for Elmwood Correctional Facility). The mismatch between the code's nominal specificity (dried organic plums) and the transactional reality (heterogeneous food-service procurement) suggests either deliberate code reuse by procurement offices for all food items or a tagging artifact in the data source. Firms pursuing dried plum supply should verify with issuing bodies directly whether opportunities tagged under this code actually require dried plums or reflect broader food sourcing in which dried plums may be one line item among dozens.
