UNSPSC 50305870: Royal red plums

The variety of plums known as royal red plums

UNSPSC 50305870 Royal red plums (Commodity) shows minimal recent procurement activity; the code does not align with the state and local contract opportunities in the dataset. The recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually buying fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, and seasonal fruits and vegetables—as food-service inputs for schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, and child care programs. None of the posted opportunities identify royal red plums specifically or even plums as a named line item. The dataset includes 25 recent state and local opportunities posted between April and October 2026, spanning Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida, but the commodity code's nominal scope—a specific plum variety—does not match the purchasing pattern.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, DeSoto County School District, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education) and state correctional and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), supplemented by municipal and county human-services agencies (City of San Antonio, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Edinburg). Texas leads in recent activity with four opportunities from TDCJ and one city RFP; Georgia dominates with eight school-district procurements; and Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi each show one to two opportunities. Procurement vehicles include sealed bids (IFB/RFB), requests for proposals (RFP), and invitations to negotiate (ITN). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply solicitations for its Palestine, Snyder, and Wynne food warehouses (due October 14–19, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), and multiple Georgia school-district produce bids for the 2026–2027 school year (due May–June 2026). The code designation appears misapplied; pursue only if your firm can supply fresh produce broadly rather than royal red plums as a specialty item.
