UNSPSC 50315815: Organic black splendor plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic black splendor plums

UNSPSC 50315815 Organic black splendor plums (Commodity) does not reflect the produce categories state and local school nutrition programs are actively buying. The nine recent solicitations in the source—spanning school districts and systems across Georgia, Texas, and Florida from February through July 2026—show sustained demand for institutional fresh produce supply, but none explicitly reference organic black splendor plums or any organic specialty varietal by that specific name. The code mismatch is significant: school nutrition RFPs posted during this period solicit comprehensive produce portfolios including apples (standard commercial varieties: Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, Jazz), bananas, citrus, berries, stone fruits, melons, and common vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, potatoes, onions) in institutional pack sizes. Requests emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions (requiring domestic content), HACCP certification, traceability, and food safety protocols. Pricing is typically indexed to USDA market reports or negotiated on a per-unit or per-case basis, with no premium organic pricing structures visible in the available bid documents.

School districts and systems (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, and Douglas County School System in Georgia via GEC Buying Cooperative) dominate recent activity, with estimated annual contract values ranging from $78,000 to $4.4 million for multi-district cooperatives. The geographic center is Georgia (six of nine opportunities), with secondary activity in Texas and Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (estimated $5.5 million total, due March 4, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (estimated $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables (estimated $600,000 budget, due March 11, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for organic black splendor plums as a distinct commodity line.
