UNSPSC 50335874: Dried organic saphire plums

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

UNSPSC 50335874 Dried organic sapphire plums (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within dried fruit procurement. State and local governments purchase dried plums almost exclusively through school nutrition programs and correctional facility food service operations. The Commodity code appears rarely in recent solicitations—a search of state and local opportunities shows minimal direct activity specifically targeting dried plums by name, though the product surfaces as a line item within broader fresh and dried produce aggregations serving K–12 school districts and state correctional agencies. School districts and state departments of criminal justice dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition centers seeking fresh and processed produce under annual IFBs and state correctional agencies procuring standardized food items including dried fruits through competitive bid cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with sporadic solicitations from Connecticut school districts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 (response due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas and multiple warehouse locations, encompassing approximately 382 line items of diverse food categories including dried fruits; TDCJ also posted a separate bid (IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, in 25-pound boxes, with minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1 (amended due date February 20, 2026). The Georgia Department of Education issued a statewide solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple categories for the 2026–27 school year, delivered to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for commodities (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items across multiple product categories to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center. All school-focused solicitations enforce the Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products.
