UNSPSC 50335875: Dried organic sloe plum

The variety of organic plums known as organic sloe plum that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335875 Dried organic sloe plum, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show minimal demand specifically for sloe plums. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and correctional facilities purchasing produce and food commodities for cafeteria operations. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases represent the school district buyer segment, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice illustrates correctional-system food procurement. These issuing bodies source fresh and dried fruits as components of larger food-service commodity contracts that span proteins, vegetables, dairy, and staple items. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and HACCP or USDA compliance appear across multiple solicitations, signaling consistent food-safety and domestic-sourcing requirements that vendors must meet.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, though the source reveals a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement patterns. Of five recent opportunities, only one directly addresses dried fruit—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, 1,400-box minimum order, due February 20, 2026)—a close commodity cousin to sloe plums but not the product itself. The remaining opportunities (Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026; City of Bridgeport commodities bid due June 26, 2026; State of Georgia food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB due June 22, 2026; and Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4, 2026) emphasize fresh produce, proteins, and broad food-service staples rather than dried organic plums. The code shows limited recent relevant activity and does not currently reflect meaningful state and local demand for dried organic sloe plums specifically.
