UNSPSC 50305864: Red lane plums

The variety of plums known as red lane plums

UNSPSC 50305864 Red lane plums is a Commodity code that describes state and local procurement of fresh plums for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show that state and local governments are buying fresh produce—including plums as part of broader commodity offerings—for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, child care food programs, parks and recreation concessions, and mental health centers. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Early County), municipal transit and recreation authorities (City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg, Collier County Parks), and regional health coalitions. School districts dominate recent activity, with at least a dozen districts posting produce procurement notices since May 2026. Texas and Georgia school systems show particularly heavy posting frequency, reflecting ongoing state nutrition programs and school meal standardization requirements.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the breadth of procurement activity. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted RFPs for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to multiple food warehouses (Wynne, Snyder) and facility locations (Palestine) with October 2026 response dates, handled through the Bonfire procurement portal. Madison Metropolitan School District posted separate RFBs for petite bananas (estimated annual value $78,000, contract term September 2026–June 2027) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (weekly volumes of approximately 5,900 servings, contract September–November 2026 with extension options), both due July 29, 2026. The Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center solicited fresh fruits and vegetables for FY 2027 delivery via small purchase on August 14, 2026. Collier County, Florida, posted an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park concession and water park facilities, with local vendor preference of 10 evaluation points for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria and response due March 6, 2025. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, sought bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery products for school lunch programs, subject to Buy American provisions (51% domestic content minimum), due June 30, 2026. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County) consistently post line-item produce procurements requiring domestic sourcing and multi-week delivery windows to multiple school sites, with contract terms running July 2026–June 2027 and renewal options through 2029. Bartow County's RFP emphasized local-sourced produce within 400 miles and offered a 5% diverse-owned business preference on scoring. The scope across all opportunities specifies USDA compliance, CACFP or National School Lunch Program standards, HACCP plans, traceability documentation by farm of origin, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million minimum depending on jurisdiction), and weekly or bi-weekly scheduled delivery.
