UNSPSC 50305804: Autumn beaut plums

The variety of plums known as autumn beaut plums

UNSPSC 50305804 Autumn beaut plums (Commodity) represents a narrow produce category that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food service channels. Recent opportunities show that autumn beaut plums are being sought as a component of broader fresh produce solicitations rather than as standalone line items—the code rarely appears as a direct commodity purchase focus, instead clustering within school nutrition programs, child care food initiatives, and senior services procurement. State and local issuing bodies solicit produce through school districts (primary buyers), county and city child nutrition programs, senior services divisions, and cooperative purchasing consortia. School districts dominate the activity, with food service departments issuing invitations for bid (IFB), requests for proposal (RFP), and requests for quotation (RFQ) for comprehensive fresh produce contracts serving dozens of school sites across a jurisdiction.

The geographic footprint spans multiple states with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County school districts), Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport). A cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia encompasses 30 school districts across two regions with combined annual produce spending of approximately $5.5 million. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's procurement of petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with geographic sourcing within 400 miles of Madison); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items; and Bartow County School System's local fresh fruits and vegetables RFP (due June 22, 2026) requiring produce sourced within 400 miles. The code shows active procurement momentum through mid-2026, though autumn beaut plums specifically do not appear itemized in available solicitation documents—suggesting vendors pursuing this commodity should position it within broader fruit procurement relationships rather than as a stand-alone sales opportunity.
