UNSPSC 50335865: Dried organic red ram plums

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

UNSPSC 50335865 Dried organic red ram plums is a Commodity code that, in recent state and local solicitations, sees minimal procurement activity directly aligned with the nominal product specification. The recent opportunities block includes four school nutrition and institutional food contracts posted between May and June 2026, yet only one tangentially references dried fruit — a Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid for whole pitted dried prunes (not specified as organic). The Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce RFB, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities bid, the State of Georgia food supplies solicitation, and the TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB all describe broad fresh and processed food categories for institutional nutrition programs, but none explicitly names dried organic red ram plums as a line item or specification. School districts and state criminal justice agencies account for the issuing bodies in the recent record, suggesting that when dried fruit procurement does occur under this code, it flows through institutional food service contracting rather than direct commodity acquisition.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut in the recent opportunities block. The TDCJ prunes solicitation and TDCJ cafeteria products IFB target multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas in Texas, with response deadlines in May and February 2026; the Georgia State agency posted a food supplies solicitation in May 2026; Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) issued school nutrition RFBs in June 2026. The code shows no demonstrable pattern of repeat buyers or sustained procurement volume. Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products appear consistently across school lunch contracts, though no vendor awards or dollar values are disclosed. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried organic red ram plums specifically) and the broad institutional food service work actually being bought suggests this code may be misapplied to general dried-fruit procurement or that opportunities tagged to 50335865 do not reliably reflect dried organic plum demand in state and local markets.
