UNSPSC 50305829: Empress plums

The variety of plums known as empress plums

UNSPSC 50305829 Empress plums, a Commodity code, sees no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains 27 solicitations, none of which request empress plums or any single-variety plum product; the references are to general fresh produce procurement, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive grocery supply for school meal programs, child care food services, and correctional facilities. One opportunity specifies petite bananas by varietal detail (UNSPSC 50305827 or equivalent), and several name fresh fruit categories broadly, but none isolates empress plums as a line item or standalone procurement.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. State and local procurement under this commodity tier typically flows through broader fresh produce contracts and food service RFPs rather than as varietal-specific purchases. To assess whether empress plum demand exists at the state and local level, monitor fresh produce solicitations from school nutrition programs, child care food authorities, and senior services departments for itemized produce specifications; the code may see tactical demand in farm-to-school initiatives or local produce preference programs, but no current open opportunities support pursuit at this time.
