UNSPSC 50335854: Dried organic october sun plums

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

UNSPSC 50335854 Dried organic october sun plums, a Commodity code, covers dried stone fruits procured by state and local school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and state agencies to supply institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state criminal justice agencies buying dried prunes and dried plums as component ingredients in cafeteria meal planning, bundled within broader food commodity procurements that also include fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited prunes meeting U.S. Grade B quality standards in specific case sizes and packing configurations, while state and local school nutrition centers include dried and fresh fruit items across multi-category commodity bids. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state correctional and criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with school lunch programs representing the largest volume of activity under this and related produce codes.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas. Recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning the 2026-27 school year with response due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requesting commodity bids for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia issuing solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food supplies and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2). A more narrowly scoped TDCJ solicitation, Bid No. IW236532, sought whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for a Corpus Christi location; the bid opening date was amended to February 20, 2026. All school nutrition solicitations enforce the Buy American Provision requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products.
