UNSPSC 50305812: Black diamond plums

The variety of plums known as black diamond plums

UNSPSC 50305812 Black diamond plums (Commodity) covers fresh fruit supply to state and local institutions, including correctional facilities, mental-health centers, school districts, senior services, and regional parks. State and local governments procure these items under the code as components of broader fresh-produce contracts and institutional food-service operations, not as standalone specialty-fruit line items. Recent solicitations show the code activity embedded within larger fresh-fruit-and-vegetable aggregations, with institutional buyers specifying produce quality, delivery schedules, food-safety compliance, and temperature controls rather than requesting black diamond plums by variety.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, DeSoto County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, DeSoto County), cities (City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg), and nonprofit child-care operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine (IW267376, RFP, due October 19, 2026) and Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas at $78,000 annual value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce with over 200 line items (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and DeSoto County School District requesting full and broken cartons of fresh produce on a cost-plus-fee basis for ten months annually (due June 22, 2026). Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, prevailing-wage certification, local-vendor preferences, and diverse-owned-business evaluation points appear across solicitations. No single opportunity identifies black diamond plums specifically; the code appears underutilized or conflated with broader fresh-produce aggregations in current state and local procurement.
