UNSPSC 50335852: Dried organic marked red plums

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

UNSPSC 50335852 Dried organic marked red plums, a Commodity code, captures dried fruit products that state and local school districts and corrections departments procure for institutional feeding programs. Recent solicitations show school nutrition centers and correctional facilities sourcing dried plums and related preserved fruits as components of larger meal-preparation commodity bundles. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with school nutrition programs representing the primary buyer type. Work under this code centers on USDA-compliant commodity sourcing with Buy American provisions—most solicitations require minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products—and delivery to institutional kitchen and warehouse locations on firm-fixed pricing with transportation prepaid.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026-27 school year with delivery to three school sites; the solicitation's breadth suggests dried fruit items sit within larger commodity packages rather than as standalone line items. The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases released an IFB for commodities (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 (posted April 23, 2026, with revised due date February 20, 2026) specifically for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1. The TDCJ also released a broader IFB 304T-26-300CF (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) encompassing approximately 382 food line items including dried fruits, with contract term extending through August 31, 2027 plus two optional renewal years.
