UNSPSC 50305814: Black ice plums

The variety of plums known as black ice plums

UNSPSC 50305814 Black ice plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code are actually procuring fresh produce—bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables—for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and detention food service. The code's nominal scope does not match the buying activity in the recent record; no recent solicitations specifically name black ice plums, and the category shows little relevant recent activity to a fruit-specific vendor.

School districts dominate issuing-body activity under related produce codes. Recent opportunities span Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP meal program, Head Start of Greater Dallas, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Georgia (multiple county school boards and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts statewide), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Mississippi (DeSoto County School District), Oregon (Central Point School District), and California (County of Santa Clara correctional facility). School districts issue the majority of fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs, typically via line-item bids or cost-plus contracts with delivery schedules tied to the academic calendar. Representative recent solicitations include the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (Douglas County Schools issuing, estimated $5.5 million annual spending across two Georgia geographic areas for fresh produce and eggs, proposals due March 4, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery to 18 elementary schools (cost-plus fixed-fee model, estimated $600,000 annual budget, proposals due March 11, 2026), and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages (no guaranteed minimum, Good Food Purchasing Program alignment required, proposals due March 11, 2026).
