UNSPSC 50305832: Gar red plums

The variety of plums known as gar red plums

UNSPSC 50305832 Gar red plums is a Commodity code representing a specific fresh fruit product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition, child care, and institutional food service programs. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for gar red plums specifically; instead, state and local buyers are sourcing fresh produce through competitive bids and RFPs that cover dozens of fruit and vegetable line items as part of comprehensive school meal contracts, CACFP programs, and institutional feeding operations. This code sits within a much larger procurement ecosystem where individual commodity types are bundled into produce supply agreements, making standalone pursuit of a single plum variety unrealistic without positioning within a broader fresh-fruit distribution capability.

School districts, county boards of education, city purchasing departments, and specialized nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, and California dominate recent activity in the fresh-produce space, with the City of Edinburg (Texas) CACFP RFP, Madison Metropolitan School District petite banana and fresh fruit RFBs, Bulloch County Schools local produce IFP, and the GEC Buying Cooperative multi-district produce RFP representing typical issuing bodies and deal structures. Evaluation typically weights cost at 30–50 percent, with quality, delivery reliability, vendor experience, and compliance documentation (Buy American, HACCP, E-Verify, insurance) making up the remainder. Recent deadlines cluster in April through July 2026, reflecting the standard school-year procurement cycle (July start dates common). Vendors supplying under this code must demonstrate five-plus years of institutional produce experience, maintain $1 million minimum liability insurance, comply with USDA and federal food safety standards, and deliver weekly to multiple school sites with rigid temperature and freshness requirements. A single gar red plum vendor competing on a commodity basis faces structural disadvantage; successful market entry requires positioning as part of a diversified produce line card capable of meeting the full fresh-fruit and vegetable specifications school districts and child nutrition programs specify in their IFBs and RFPs.
