UNSPSC 50305823: Earliqueen plums

The variety of plums known as earliqueen plums

UNSPSC 50305823 Earliqueen plums (Commodity) describes a single fresh-fruit item that state and local governments procure as part of broader school meal and child nutrition programs rather than as a standalone procurement category. Recent state and local activity shows no dedicated solicitations for Earliqueen plums specifically; instead, the code appears in the context of comprehensive fresh-produce contracts that bundle apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and other fruits into single line items within larger food-service bids. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies due August 4, 2026, which encompasses fresh fruits and vegetables as one of five supply categories supporting approximately 400 children daily. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) and Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce through sealed-bid IRBs in June and May 2026 respectively, listing dozens of produce line items without isolating individual fruit varieties. Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and multiple other school districts across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Oregon similarly bundled fresh produce procurement under single solicitations covering mixed fruits and vegetables by case quantity rather than by specific cultivar.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and food-service operations—National School Lunch Program operators, Child and Adult Care Food Program providers, Head Start agencies, and senior-services divisions—across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and California. Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Austin Independent School District, and the GEC Buying Cooperative (30 Georgia districts) represent repeat soliciting entities. The code shows no concentration in any single state or region; activity is distributed across multiple school districts and child-nutrition programs. No vendor has been named as incumbent, and no budget values have been disclosed for Earliqueen-plum purchases specifically. Given the absence of standalone Earliqueen-plum solicitations and the commodity's inclusion only as a line item within broad fresh-produce contracts, pursuit viability depends on positioning within a larger produce-distribution capability rather than as a discrete product line. The recent-opportunities block contains no RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB that isolates this plum variety for separate bidding or pricing.
