UNSPSC 50335872: Dried organic roysum plums

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

UNSPSC 50335872 Dried organic roysum plums (Commodity) represents fresh and processed dried fruit procurement by school districts, state correctional systems, and county food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily K–12 school districts and state corrections departments acquiring produce for child nutrition programs and inmate meal services. The recent opportunities show school districts and corrections agencies sourcing fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned goods, dairy, proteins, and dried fruit items—categories broader than the code's nominal scope of dried prunes or roysum plums specifically. A mismatch exists between the code's narrow commodity definition and the actual purchasing activity: only one solicitation (Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW236532, posted April 23, 2026, due February 20, 2026) directly specified whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count size, packed in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1. The remaining opportunities in the dataset span general grocery procurement, master grocery contracts, fresh produce supply, and food service distribution—scopes that encompass but are not limited to dried prunes.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and across school districts nationwide. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two major RFPs—one for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (February 4, 2026 RFP due March 4, 2026) and one for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (January 21, 2026 RFP due February 18, 2026). Hancock County Schools (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items for delivery to three school locations. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K–12 (posted April 6, due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum three years' business and food delivery experience and bidding on at least 76 items. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items for 2026–27 (posted March 31, due April 29, 2026) comprising over 900 line items. The County of Santa Clara (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (posted January 28, due February 5, 2026) with a five-year contract term and local business preference of five percent. This code shows limited specific dried-prune activity; most procurement involves broader fresh and processed grocery categories across school nutrition and corrections food service.
