UNSPSC 50305815: Black splendor plums

The variety of plums known as black splendor plums

UNSPSC 50305815 Black splendor plums is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to this specific product. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for black splendor plums or other fresh plums. Instead, the documented state and local purchases under this code span a much broader range of fresh produce and food service items, including multi-category grocery bids, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, produce distribution contracts, and protein-based food procurement. The mismatch between the narrow commodity name and the actual buying activity suggests that either agencies are tagging generic fresh-produce and comprehensive food service opportunities with this plum code by default, or the code is rarely used in isolation for single-produce-item procurements at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, multiple Georgia county school systems including Bryan County, Dougherty County, and Glynn County), municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas), school food authorities, and one county correctional facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). A few solicitations address fresh produce more narrowly—McAllen ISD, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, and Central Point School District in Oregon all issued dedicated fresh-produce RFPs—but none named plums specifically. Opportunities span Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin ISD), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Connecticut (Meriden), multiple Georgia counties, Florida (Hillsborough County), Mississippi (DeSoto County), and Oregon (Central Point), with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school nutrition procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, response due July 29, 2026), the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for comprehensive CACFP meal supplies including fresh fruits and vegetables (response due August 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP 26RFP034 (response due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). The code shows active state and local procurement momentum, but the documented opportunities reflect broad food-service and multi-commodity fresh-produce categories rather than single-plum-product demand.
