UNSPSC 50305834: Grand rosa plums

The variety of plums known as grand rosa plums

UNSPSC 50305834 Grand rosa plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this produce item as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for institutional food service — most commonly supporting school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health and senior services facilities, and child care meal programs. The work involves supplying fresh, quality-assured produce delivered on schedule to meet regulatory compliance (USDA standards, CACFP requirements, Buy American provisions where applicable) and operational demands such as bi-weekly or weekly service, temperature control, and damage replacement. Issuing bodies range across state departments of corrections and mental health, county and independent school districts, city departments of human services, and special-purpose entities such as Head Start programs and regional health care coalitions. School districts represent the largest segment of recent activity, followed by state correctional and mental health facilities. No standout repeat buyers emerge, but Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Early County) show multiple solicitations.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi.
