UNSPSC 50335862: Dried organic quetsch plum

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

UNSPSC 50335862 Dried organic quetsch plum is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — whole, dried prune or plum products for food service — appears only tangentially in the recent opportunities dataset. One Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation (IW236532) explicitly sought whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with 60-70 count sizing and 1,400-box minimum order quantities for a correctional facility, with sealed-bid opening originally scheduled for February 18, 2026, and amended to February 20, 2026. A separate Santa Clara County procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) for dried fruits and nuts to a correctional facility included dried cranberries and a tropical fruit mix blend but did not isolate prunes or quetsch plums as distinct line items. Beyond these two correctional-food opportunities, the dataset shows no state or local school district, county, or municipal body explicitly soliciting dried organic quetsch plums or prunes as a standalone commodity during the review period. The overwhelming majority of recent solicitations under or near this code space target fresh produce, comprehensive grocery assortments, or general food-service distribution contracts for K-12 nutrition programs and criminal-justice food service rather than specialty dried-fruit items.

Issuing bodies in the recent opportunities are predominantly K-12 school districts and boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; and Douglas County School System in Georgia), with smaller representation from city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut) and state agencies (State of Georgia; Texas Department of Criminal Justice; County of Santa Clara). The two prune or dried-fruit-specific opportunities identified are in correctional food service (TDCJ and Santa Clara County Sheriff). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, reflecting school-district and state-agency concentration. The TDCJ prune solicitation closed in February 2026 and the Santa Clara dried-fruit procurement closed in early February 2026; neither remains open. Current market pursuit under this specific code appears limited to food-service vendors already embedded in correctional or institutional nutrition contracts or those bidding comprehensive dried-fruit assortments rather than single-product specialists.
