UNSPSC 50335851: Dried organic marked black plums

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

UNSPSC 50335851 Dried organic marked black plums is a Commodity code covering dried stone fruits procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local buyers under this code are primarily school districts and state agencies operating centralized food distribution systems. Recent solicitations show school nutrition departments and state corrections agencies seeking dried fruits as components of broader food service contracts, alongside fresh produce, proteins, and staple commodities. Dried plums and similar preserved fruits appear in solicitations alongside fresh inventory to support year-round menu planning and nutritional compliance in institutional cafeteria operations.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items including dried fruits among proteins, grains, and condiments.

The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for commodities to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submission due June 26, 2026, under MBE/CBE applicability and requiring compliance with the Richard B.
