UNSPSC 50305842: Jamaican plum

The variety of plums known as jamaican plum

UNSPSC 50305842 Jamaican plum, a Commodity code, has minimal recent state and local procurement activity relevant to the code's nominal scope. The single recent opportunity explicitly tagged to this code—a fresh-produce procurement by Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026)—actually solicits petite bananas, not Jamaican plums. The remaining opportunities in the source material cite other fresh-produce codes or generic grocery codes and reflect activity in school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and child care food programs across Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California, but none of these solicitations name Jamaican plums as a line item or specify tropical plum varieties beyond standard institutional produce requirements (apples, bananas, berries, citrus, root vegetables, and leafy greens).

School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies conducting these procurements emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with USDA and CACFP nutrition standards, and cost-competitive sealed bidding or RFP award based on lowest responsive and responsible pricing. The volume-based nature of institutional fresh-produce procurement—measured in cases weekly across dozens of schools—does not align with specialty tropical fruit demand. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether individual state or local nutrition programs have standing demand for Jamaican plums before investing in pursuit; the current market signal from recent solicitations is absent.
