UNSPSC 50305868: Rosemary plums

The variety of plums known as rosemary plums

UNSPSC 50305868 Rosemary plums is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. While the code nominally specifies a single produce item, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for rosemary plums specifically. Instead, the sourced records reflect school nutrition programs, senior services, and correctional facilities procuring broad fresh produce categories—fresh fruits and vegetables, specialty produce for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, eggs, and dried fruits—but no discrete demand for rosemary plums as a line item appears in any of the twenty-six recent solicitations reviewed. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Henry County, Savannah-Chatham, McAllen, Central Point, Austin, Meriden, Hillsborough, Early County), counties (DeSoto, Bartow, Santa Clara), cities (Bridgeport, San Antonio, Edinburg, Austin), state education agencies (Georgia), and specialized procurement vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 Georgia districts, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Meriden Public Schools).

The source material indicates that state and local food service procurement under related produce codes emphasizes scale, compliance, and delivery logistics rather than specialty or heirloom varieties. School districts and meal programs procure standard apple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Ambrosia), bananas (petite and standard), berries, carrots, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, citrus, and seasonal items in case quantities, typically on weekly delivery schedules to multiple sites with firm fixed pricing, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, and insurance requirements. Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurements emphasize produce sourced within 400 miles where feasible, GAP certification, ready-to-eat packaging, and local-farm traceability. No recent solicitation names rosemary plums, and no vendor in the sample shows this product as a core school nutrition or institutional food service offering. Pursuit of this code requires confirmation that state or local buyers are actually sourcing rosemary plums as a discrete line item before allocating sales effort.
