UNSPSC 50305841: Interspecific type plums

The variety of plums known as interspecific type plums

UNSPSC 50305841 Interspecific type plums is a Commodity code that sees little decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its scope. The recent opportunities block shows nearly two dozen solicitations for fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and food service items posted between April and October 2026, but these solicitations span broad commodity families—bananas, apples, lettuce, carrots, onions, tomatoes, berries, and mixed produce—with no posting that names plums specifically or interspecific plum varieties by type. The code appears to be tagged to catch-all fresh-produce procurement records rather than narrowly targeted plum supply, creating misalignment between the taxonomy entry and the work actually being bought at the jurisdiction level.

State and local buyers conducting produce procurement during this period include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, and DeSoto County districts in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments of corrections and mental health (Texas Department of Criminal Justice operating food warehouses at Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville; Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet Treatment Center; Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center), county governments (Collier County in Florida), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and special-purpose entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Buyers are procuring fresh produce via sealed bids (IFB), requests for proposals (RFP), invitations to negotiate (ITN), and small-purchase procurement, with responses typically due 10 to 45 days from posting. Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Illinois. If plum supply is an active business line, pursuing this code as tagged will require confirming directly with issuing bodies that they have interspecific-plum opportunities in their pipeline, as the recent public record shows no explicit plum solicitations.
