UNSPSC 50305801: Amber jewel plums

The variety of plums known as amber jewel plums

UNSPSC 50305801 Amber jewel plums (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within fresh-fruit procurement for state and local institutional food service. State and local governments buy amber jewel plums as part of broader fresh-produce supply contracts that also span general fruit and vegetable assortments, rather than as standalone single-item purchases. The code sees activity across corrections departments, school nutrition programs, senior services, and mental-health facilities that operate food service operations serving resident or participant populations.

Corrections agencies and school districts dominate recent solicitation activity. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply RFQs across institutional food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, Palestine facilities) with response deadlines in October 2026. School districts including Madison Metropolitan (Wisconsin), Hancock County (Georgia), Bryan County (Georgia), Dougherty County (Georgia), Early County (Georgia), and DeSoto County (Mississippi) have issued sealed-bid and RFP solicitations for school-year produce supply covering 40 to 200+ line items of fresh fruits and vegetables, typically spanning July through June contract periods. The Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health issued small-purchase and procurement requests for fresh-produce weekly delivery to treatment and mental-health facilities. Collier County (Florida) solicited food-service proposals for park concessions that include produce supply under an Invitation to Negotiate. Non-traditional institutional buyers including Head Start organizations (Dallas), the City of San Antonio's senior services division, and city boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Edinburg, Texas) have posted broader grocery and meal-support solicitations that encompass fresh produce. Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Illinois, and Mississippi, with school districts representing the densest cluster of recent opportunities. Response dates for active solicitations cluster in May through October 2026, with most school-year contracts running July 2026 through June 2027. Buy American sourcing requirements, local-vendor preferences (5–10 evaluation points in jurisdictions like Collier County and Madison), and HACCP compliance appear routinely in scope documents.
