UNSPSC 50305871: Royal zee plums

The variety of plums known as royal zee plums

UNSPSC 50305871 Royal zee plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh produce—specifically specialty fruits like royal zee plums and a broad range of fresh fruits and vegetables—to support school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, senior services, and institutional food service. Recent opportunities show school districts, child nutrition agencies, county boards of education, and municipal departments issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce delivery contracts that typically run one fiscal year with optional renewal periods, often bundling plums and similar specialty items within broader fresh fruit categories rather than purchasing plums as standalone line items.

The issuing-body mix spans primarily school nutrition departments across state boards of education and independent school districts, with secondary activity from county and city governments supporting child and adult care programs, senior services, and detention facility food service. Georgia school districts dominate recent activity—Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County have all posted sealed bids or RFPs for fresh produce in the past four months—alongside school systems in Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport), and a multistate cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia districts). The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in the upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Illinois), Florida, and the Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program RFP (26039RFPDST, proposals due March 11, 2026) seeking specialty fruits and vegetables delivered to elementary schools at an estimated annual budget of $600,000; the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026) covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas with estimated combined spending of $5.5 million; the Austin Independent School District RFP (26RFP034, proposals due March 11, 2026) for fresh produce and beverages emphasizing Good Food Purchasing Program compliance and local sourcing; and the Meriden Public Schools RFP (RFP02641, proposals due February 25, 2026) for commercial groceries and produce to serve 8,200 students with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million. Cost-plus and fixed-fee models dominate contract structures, with Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, and traceability documentation standard across solicitations.
