UNSPSC 50305856: Perdrigon plum

The variety of plums known as perdrigon plum

UNSPSC 50305856 Perdrigon plum (Commodity) covers fresh plum procurement by state and local agencies, though the recent solicitation activity shows limited specificity to plums alone. State and local food-service buyers—primarily corrections and mental-health facility food warehouses, school nutrition programs, senior services divisions, and child nutrition agencies—solicit fresh produce under broad commodity codes that encompass multiple fruits and vegetables rather than single-variety purchases. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine facility, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse), with response dates in mid-October 2026, but these aggregate produce supply rather than isolate plums. School districts across Georgia (Bryan County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bartow County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) issue RFB and RFP notices for fresh produce contracts under school nutrition programs, typically covering 30 to 200+ line items of fruits and vegetables with contract terms aligned to the academic year. Illinois corrections and mental-health agencies (Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center, Illinois Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center) solicit fresh produce on small-purchase and one-year renewal bases with bi-weekly or weekly delivery schedules. Head Start of Greater Dallas and municipal food-service operations (City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg, City of San Antonio senior services) round out the buyer base, with contract values ranging from approximately $78,000 annually (Madison Metropolitan petite bananas) to $969,460.94 (Head Start grocery procurement).

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (TDCJ and municipal/nonprofit procurements in Dallas, Edinburg, San Antonio), Georgia (school districts and state agencies), Illinois (corrections and mental health), Wisconsin (school districts), and Connecticut (Bridgeport public schools), with isolated activity in Florida (Collier County) and Mississippi (DeSoto County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFP for Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (bid due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ produce line items including apples, berries, root vegetables, and specialty fruits), and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value $78,000, term September 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51% domestic content apply to several school district solicitations; local-vendor preferences and diverse-business-status evaluation criteria are common in Georgia school nutrition procurements and Florida and Texas municipal operations. The code itself appears generic to broad fresh-produce supply; no recent solicitations target plums as a discrete procurement line, limiting direct pursuit opportunity under this specific commodity code in the current market.
