UNSPSC 50305875: Sloe plum

The variety of plums known as sloe plum

UNSPSC 50305875 Sloe plum, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single fruit variety, yet recent opportunities solicited under this code span broad institutional food service procurement for school districts, municipalities, senior services, and child care providers sourcing fresh produce assortments—apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and other staples—rather than sloe plums specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow fruit designation and the wide-ranging produce categories in current solicitations suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that the code has been applied as a placeholder within a broader produce family. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, reflecting the steady institutional demand for meal-service ingredients across K-12 systems.

State and local issuing bodies include Georgia school districts (Glynn County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Bartow County, and Douglas County via the GEC Buying Cooperative), Texas school districts (Austin, McAllen, Meriden, Hillsborough County), Connecticut municipalities (Meriden Public Schools), Oregon school districts (Central Point), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County), the City of Bridgeport and City of San Antonio, Head Start of Greater Dallas, DeSoto County and Hancock County school systems in Mississippi and Georgia respectively, and other jurisdictions. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, Mississippi, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program RFP 2026-017 for five food categories including fresh produce (due August 4, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty items across 18 elementary school sites (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000), the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts (due March 4, 2026, estimated combined annual spending approximately $5.5 million), and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages across all food service locations (due March 11, 2026). No recent opportunities specifically name sloe plums; the code appears inactive or misapplied in current state and local procurement.
