UNSPSC 50305836: Greengage plums

The variety of plums known as greengage plums

UNSPSC 50305836 Greengage plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce through this code primarily for child nutrition programs, school meal services, and senior services, as evidenced by recent solicitations emphasizing CACFP compliance, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation, and National School Lunch Program support. The code captures procurement of fresh fruits and specialty produce items, delivered in case quantities to institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs across multiple states, along with city and county agencies operating child care and senior service facilities. School districts dominate the activity—driven by federal meal program requirements and state procurement cycles aligned to academic years—but the code also reflects procurement by city departments of human services, Head Start organizations, and county boards of education operating centralized food service systems.

Georgia school districts account for the heaviest recent concentration of activity, with multiple districts including Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, and Henry County all issuing produce solicitations between March and May 2026. Texas school districts and child nutrition programs—McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, the City of Edinburg, and Head Start of Greater Dallas—posted opportunities in February through July 2026. Additional activity spans Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Mississippi (DeSoto County School District), Oregon (Central Point School District), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with statewide cooperative purchasing through the Georgia Educational Collaborative. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg requesting proposals for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District issuing requests for bids on petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, $78,000 estimated annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools seeking proposals for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce delivery (RFP 26039RFPDST, $600,000 estimated annual budget), and the GEC Buying Cooperative coordinating produce procurement across 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004, approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending, due March 4, 2026). Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, local-vendor preferences where statutorily available, and cost-competitiveness drive evaluation across most solicitations; evaluation often weights delivery reliability, product quality, and fill-rate performance alongside price.
