UNSPSC 50335850: Dried organic mariposa plums

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

UNSPSC 50335850 Dried organic mariposa plums (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement primarily as part of broader fresh and processed produce solicitations for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, though recent opportunities show limited specificity around dried mariposa plums as a distinct line item. The code describes a niche dried-fruit commodity that state and local buyers acquire when sourcing institutional food supplies, but the recent solicitations reveal that most activity centers on fresh produce, canned goods, and frozen entrees rather than specialty dried fruits. School districts and state correctional departments drive the majority of solicitations under related produce codes; the code itself sees minimal direct activity in recent months.

Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies posting broader food-commodity RFBs and IFBs rather than line-item solicitations for dried mariposa plums specifically. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 fresh produce line items; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a June 26, 2026 deadline for 115 commodity line items across eggs, poultry, and produce for its Board of Education Nutrition Center; the State of Georgia requested bids on food supplies and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum), with delivery to six distribution points across Texas. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) specifically targeted dried prunes in February 2026, indicating that state correctional buyers do source dried fruit, though that recent opportunity has already closed. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with additional procurement by state agencies and school districts across multiple jurisdictions. Dried mariposa plums appear to carry minimal standalone procurement activity; vendors should monitor institutional food RFBs that include dried-fruit line items rather than expect direct solicitations for this commodity alone.
