The variety of plums known as st catherine plum

UNSPSC 50305876 St catherine plum is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce supply and delivery, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, school districts, and health care coalitions. State and local governments procure under this code to stock dining facilities, meal programs, and food distribution centers with fresh produce meeting USDA quality standards, food safety compliance, and nutritional requirements. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state mental health agencies, county and municipal school districts, county health care coalitions, city senior services divisions, and state education agencies. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer with multiple recent solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to food warehouses and individual facilities. School nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunity set, reflecting the breadth of institutional food service demand under federal child nutrition and school lunch program requirements.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida, with school districts and state correctional or mental health agencies posting the largest volume of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for delivery to the Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IFB IW267411 and IW267420, responses due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' request for fresh produce bi-weekly delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with a small business set-aside (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with Wisconsin local-sourcing preferences (RFB 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026, estimated value $78,000 for bananas alone); DeSoto County School District's procurement for fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites on a cost-plus-fee basis (IFB 3170035984, due June 22, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's broader grocery items solicitation supporting the National School Lunch Program (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026). Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options; pricing is frequently firm for the contract period with escalation tied to USDA agricultural pricing indices. Buy American provisions appear consistently in school and state procurements. Insurance requirements, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and delivery schedule compliance are standard conditions across issuing bodies.
