UNSPSC 50305802: Angeleno plums

The variety of plums known as angeleno plums

UNSPSC 50305802 Angeleno plums, a Commodity code, covers specialty fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for child nutrition, senior services, and institutional food service programs. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts, county education systems, and specialized nutrition programs purchasing fresh produce—including plums and similar stone fruits—as components of larger school lunch, breakfast, and supplemental nutrition initiatives. The issuing bodies span independent school districts, county boards of education, regional cooperative purchasing consortiums, and municipal departments managing food service for vulnerable populations; school districts and their nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with particular concentration among Georgia school systems and Texas independent school districts. State and local buyers increasingly emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety protocols, USDA compliance, delivery reliability, and cost control—with several recent solicitations establishing geographic preferences for locally or regionally sourced produce when price and quality are comparable.

The code shows substantial recent activity across the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia school systems (Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia districts) generating multiple sealed-bid and RFP procurements for fresh produce during the past four months. Representative opportunities include the Bulloch County School District's RFP for local fresh produce with a July 1, 2026 start (IFP, proposals due May 4, 2026); the Glynn County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for 60 produce line items across 16 schools (IFB 27-02, bids due April 14, 2026); and the GEC Buying Cooperative's regional RFP serving 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas (SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026). Texas buyers include McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, extended deadline), Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, proposals due March 11, 2026), and the City of Edinburg CACFP program (RFP 2026-017, proposals due August 4, 2026). Outside the Southeast and Texas, Central Point School District in Oregon (RFP SP1500500016028, due March 16, 2026, estimated annual value $302,000), Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut (RFP02641, proposals due February 25, 2026, estimated contract value $3.1 million), and County of Santa Clara in California (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, bids due February 5, 2026) show national geographic dispersion. Contract awards typically run July 1 through June 30, with most districts requiring weekly deliveries, competitive pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, compliance with domestic-sourcing preferences, and three to five years of vendor produce-distribution experience as baseline qualifications.
