UNSPSC 50305869: Royal diamond plums

The variety of plums known as royal diamond plums

UNSPSC 50305869 Royal diamond plums (Commodity) spans fresh produce procurement by state departments, county school systems, municipalities, and specialized health and senior-services entities. State and local governments buy specific fresh fruits and vegetables under this code — not the abstract category, but line-item produce commodities sourced for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, and senior centers. Recent solicitations show demand for individual produce items priced and delivered on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to distributed facility locations, often with strict quality specifications, temperature requirements, traceability documentation, and compliance with USDA standards and food-safety protocols such as HACCP certification.

The issuing-body mix reflects institutional food service across multiple sectors. 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 in Huntsville, all with October 2026 response dates). School districts dominate the recent-opportunity list: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) solicited petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in July 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bryan County Schools (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and DeSoto County School District (Mississippi) all posted fresh produce bids in May and June 2026. Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center) posted separate fresh produce contracts in August and September 2026. The City of Edinburg (Texas) solicited CACFP meal-program supplies including fresh produce in August 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas and the City of San Antonio Department of Human Services posted produce-related RFPs in May and June 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park in October 2026 with a 10-point local-vendor preference. Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts), Texas (TDCJ, Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, San Antonio), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Florida (Collier County), Illinois (corrections and mental health), Mississippi (DeSoto County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70-90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, September 2026–June 2027 contract); Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties, bids due June 26, 2026; DeSoto County School District bid (June 22, 2026) for full and broken cartons of fresh fruits and vegetables on a bi-annual fixed-fee-plus-cost basis, 97% service level, 10-month delivery cycle; and Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (September 3, 2026 deadline, small-business set-aside, prevailing-wage compliance required). Collier County's ITN 258360 for North Collier Regional Park food services carries a three-year base term with two one-year renewals, $15/square-foot minimum warehouse rate, and requires health and food-safety compliance.
