UNSPSC 50305848: Linda rosa plums

The variety of plums known as linda rosa plums

UNSPSC 50305848 Linda rosa plums is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The source shows no solicitations for Linda rosa plums or any other plum varieties. Instead, the eight most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span fresh produce supply contracts for school nutrition programs, senior services, child care facilities, and corrections food service across multiple states—covering comprehensive produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes), eggs, dried fruits and nuts, and grocery items bundled with paper goods and cleaning supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (a specific plum variety) and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code sees little activity in its narrowly defined scope.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Meriden Public Schools, Central Point School District, and GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30+ Georgia districts), municipal departments (City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, City of Edinburgh), Head Start programs, county boards of education, and specialized public entities (Santa Clara County Department of Correction). School districts dominate the buyer pool, with fresh produce for school lunch and breakfast programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and child care nutrition services driving most volume. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, bids due July 29, 2026) and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages to 18 elementary schools under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (cost-plus-fixed-fee structure, proposals due March 11, 2026). The GEC Buying Cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026) spans 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million for fresh produce and eggs. Given the code's narrowness and the absence of any Linda rosa plum solicitations, this code is not actionable for market targeting; broader commodity codes covering fresh produce (50305700–50305899 range) would better align with actual state and local buying patterns.
