UNSPSC 50305838: Hiromi red plums

The variety of plums known as hiromi red plums

UNSPSC 50305838 Hiromi red plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure Hiromi red plums specifically; instead, they buy fresh produce on a broad categorical basis through institutions serving meals to inmates, students, seniors, and vulnerable populations. The actual work under this code's nominal scope does not surface in the recent opportunities block—no issuing body has solicited Hiromi red plums by name or variety in the posted record. The code appears to describe a narrowly defined agricultural commodity that does not align with the aggregated, multi-item procurement patterns state and local agencies actually follow when sourcing fresh fruit and vegetables for institutional food service.

State and local procurement in the fresh produce space clusters around school districts, corrections departments, and county or municipal human services agencies issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for produce supply contracts serving 20+ line items per solicitation—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and tomatoes in bulk quantities. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi, with Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Hancock County, Bartow County, DeSoto County), Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Head Start programs, city and county human services departments, and senior center operations posting notices. Representative solicitations include TDCJ's fresh fruit and vegetable bids for food warehouses at Palestine and Snyder (IW267376, IW267420, due October 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's fresh fruit and vegetable snacks procurement under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), and Bartow County School System's request for local fresh produce sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). A single vendor's ability to win a contract on Hiromi red plums alone is not supported by current market activity; the commodity code does not map to the bundled, institutional fresh-produce ecosystem that actually drives state and local buying today.
