UNSPSC 50305817: Burgundy plums

The variety of plums known as burgundy plums

UNSPSC 50305817 Burgundy plums, a Commodity code, covers fresh specialty produce sold to state and local school districts, child care programs, and corrections facilities to support meal service and nutrition programs. State and local governments procuring under this code buy fresh fruits including burgundy plums alongside broader produce assortments for child nutrition, school lunch, and other institutional feeding operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—elementary through high school systems across multiple states—along with specialized nutrition programs such as child and adult care food programs (CACFP), Head Start agencies, and county corrections facilities. Procurement activity clusters around school nutrition departments in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and California, with the code reflecting purchase of fresh produce as a line item within larger produce or grocery solicitations rather than as standalone specialty-fruit contracts.

Recent opportunities show school districts sourcing burgundy plums as components of comprehensive fresh produce bids. The Bartow County School System (Georgia) issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with a proposal deadline of June 22, 2026, seeking produce sourced within 400 miles; Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) conducted IFB 27-02 for fresh produce with bids due April 14, 2026, covering approximately 60 produce line items delivered weekly to 16 school locations; and the Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) solicited proposals through RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables to the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving 18 elementary schools, with proposals due March 11, 2026. The GEC Buying Cooperative (Georgia), a consortium of 30 school districts, issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs with a proposal deadline of March 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 72 line items across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending exceeding $5.5 million. Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South (Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi), with additional procurement in the Midwest (Wisconsin), Northeast (Connecticut), and West Coast (California, Oregon). The code shows active but secondary activity—burgundy plums appear as individual line items within broader institutional produce buys rather than as the focus of standalone procurements.
