UNSPSC 50305802: Angeleno plums

The variety of plums known as angeleno plums

UNSPSC 50305802 Angeleno plums is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line—the angeleno plum variety specifically—but recent state and local solicitations show no demand for angeleno plums in particular. Instead, the code has been applied to broader fresh produce and grocery procurement, indicating either misclassification or very limited relevance. The recent opportunities sourced under this code span fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, mental health centers, child care food programs, and regional parks across multiple states. The issuing bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, state departments of education in Georgia and Wisconsin, county and city school districts, and specialized agencies like the Marion Health Care Coalition and Head Start organizations. These buyers are sourcing full produce catalogs—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, berries, and dozens of other items—rather than angeleno plums specifically, suggesting the code classification does not match actual procurement activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Connecticut, with school districts and correctional agencies as the dominant buyer segment. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for the Palestine facility (solicitation IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and the Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated contract value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet Treatment Center seeking fresh produce delivery (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside); and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education soliciting grocery items including produce (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026). School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content minimum), local-vendor preferences, and USDA nutrition standards, while correctional and mental health facilities focus on bulk fresh deliveries with food safety and temperature control requirements. The code appears to carry little current market relevance for angeleno plums specifically; vendors pursuing fresh produce contracts should monitor produce category codes rather than this narrow commodity classification.
