UNSPSC 50305847: Late rosa plums

The variety of plums known as late rosa plums

UNSPSC 50305847 Late rosa plums, a Commodity code, covers fresh plum varieties supplied to institutional food service operations — primarily correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, and senior services programs. State and local buyers use this code to procure fresh produce as components of broader meal-service contracts, often bundled with other fruits and vegetables. Recent solicitations show plums and related stone fruits appearing as line items within larger fresh produce supply agreements rather than as standalone commodity procurements, reflecting the code's narrow applicability within institutional nutrition programs.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school nutrition programs, municipal senior services divisions, and county-level institutional food service operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, conducting multiple fresh produce solicitations across food warehouse locations. School districts in Georgia (Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education) represent the largest segment of recent activity, with fresh produce bids covering dozens of line items per solicitation. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional solicitations in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation IW267376 for Palestine (due October 19, 2026) and IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026), both seeking produce delivery via the TDCJ Procurement Portal; the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center fresh fruits and vegetables contract for fiscal year 2027 under small purchase procurement (due August 14, 2026); and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas at $78,000 annual contract value (due July 29, 2026). School districts typically weight cost at 30–40 percent of evaluation criteria, with qualifications, compliance, and service capability comprising the remainder.
