UNSPSC 50305833: Governor's plum

The variety of plums known as governor's plum

UNSPSC 50305833 Governor's plum is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery to institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, school districts, and child care programs. State and local governments use this code to procure ready-to-eat and bulk produce—including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, and specialty items—for meal programs serving incarcerated populations, patients, students, seniors, and children. The work spans direct supply agreements, farmer aggregation and distribution services, and turnkey food-service operations at multiple venues. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts and boards of education, county human services and parks departments, municipal senior services divisions, and specialized entities such as Head Start programs and health care coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts across Georgia and Wisconsin, and Illinois Department of Mental Health and Department of Corrections are repeat solicitors under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with solicitations from Texas (TDCJ facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville), Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Bryan County school systems, and statewide procurement), Illinois (Joliet Treatment Center and Madden Mental Health Center), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District).
