UNSPSC 50305866: Red rosa plums

The variety of plums known as red rosa plums

UNSPSC 50305866 Red rosa plums is a Commodity code that classifies fresh produce ingredients purchased by state and local procurement offices to support food service operations — institutional dining, school nutrition programs, child care food programs, senior services, and detention or mental health facility kitchens. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring individual fresh-produce line items including plums alongside broader produce assortments (apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes) and specialty items (mangoes, papayas, kiwis, starfruit). Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County in Georgia, DeSoto County in Mississippi), counties (Collier County, Florida; Marion Health Care Coalition; Bartow County, Georgia), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and child care agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). School districts dominate the recent activity, followed by state facility procurement offices and county nutrition programs.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with material secondary activity in Florida, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Colorado. Representative recent solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value $78,000, September 2026–June 2027, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, September–November 2026 with two three-month extension options, due July 29, 2026 with geographic sourcing within 400 miles and within Wisconsin); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitations IW267376, IW267420, and IW267411 for fresh fruit and vegetable deliveries to state food warehouses and detention facilities (due October 14–19, 2026); and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for 40 fresh-produce line items to supply 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026). Buy American requirements, prevailing-wage compliance, local-vendor preferences (10 evaluation points in Collier County; 5% preference within 5% of lowest bid in Edinburg; geographic sourcing in Wisconsin and Georgia), HACCP plans, liability insurance minimums ($500,000–$1 million), and firm fixed pricing for stated contract terms are standard.
