UNSPSC 50335870: Dried organic royal red plums

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

UNSPSC 50335870 Dried organic royal red plums is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations under this code are not buying dried plums — they are soliciting fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and other cafeteria staple items for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. One opportunity does name dried prunes specifically (Texas Department of Criminal Justice Bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026), but the overwhelming volume of recent activity in the code shows school districts and state agencies buying fresh fruits, vegetables, and mixed food products through IFB and annual supply contracts. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement divisions (State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), and city departments of public purchases (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The work involves sealed-bid procurement of packaged produce and food items with Buy American requirements, HACCP and food-safety certifications, delivery to multiple locations, and firm pricing locked for the contract term, typically one year with optional renewals.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, IFB, due June 26, 2026), which covers over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, leafy greens, and specialty fruits delivered to three school sites; City of Bridgeport COMMODITIES (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, electronic submission via OpenGov Procurement, due June 26, 2026), which encompasses 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products; and Cafeteria Food Products (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via Texas Comptroller, IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026), covering approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce for multiple warehouse locations. The TDCJ prunes solicitation (IFB IW236532, due February 20, 2026) called for 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B dried prunes in 60-70 count size. All contracts require compliance with USDA and state health standards, MBE/CBE certifications where applicable, comprehensive liability insurance, and delivery to designated nutrition centers or distribution points.
