UNSPSC 50305809: Betty anne plums

The variety of plums known as betty anne plums

UNSPSC 50305809 Betty Anne Plums is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specific fresh fruit and vegetable produce items for institutional food service, school meals, senior nutrition programs, and correctional facility dining. Recent opportunities show jurisdictions buying fresh produce—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and specialty items—delivered on weekly or bi-weekly schedules to central warehouses, school distribution centers, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, and individual school sites. State departments of corrections and school districts dominate the buyer base, with frequent participation from county boards of education, municipal departments of human services, and smaller institutional operators such as Head Start programs and treatment centers.

Solicitation activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable RFQs (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) with October 2026 deadlines for deliveries to food warehouses serving correctional facilities. School districts across Georgia—Bartow County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, and Early County—issued sealed bids for fresh produce during May and June 2026, with contract terms running through June 30, 2027 and geographic sourcing preferences (domestic, Buy American, or within 400-mile radius where specified). Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet Treatment Center solicited bi-weekly fresh produce deliveries under a small business set-aside (RFQ due September 3, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District requested bids for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFBs 4162, 4163, due July 29, 2026), with the latter contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for food services including produce at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor 10-point preference). The City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services sought a produce market operator for senior centers (RFP 26-070, due May 27, 2026). Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited grocery products (IFB 26-GP, estimated value $969,460.94, due June 24, 2026). Price structures vary: cost-plus-fee models with distributor markup, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, weekly or monthly deliveries with 95–98 percent fill-rate minimums, and payment terms typically NET 30 to NET 45 days. Insurance minimums range from $500,000 to $1 million general liability. Buy American and domestic-sourcing requirements appear in many school district solicitations. Diverse-owned business certifications and local-vendor preferences are common evaluation criteria.
