UNSPSC 50315821: Organic damson plum

The variety of organic plums known as organic damson plum

UNSPSC 50315821 Organic damson plum is a Commodity code. State and local school districts are the primary buyers under this code, procuring fresh produce through invitations for bid (IFB) and requests for proposal (RFP) to supply school nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope—organic damson plum—does not align with the actual purchasing activity reflected in recent solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for damson plums, organic or otherwise. Instead, the opportunities document fresh produce procurement broadly, spanning apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus fruits, and dozens of other produce items, but damson plums do not appear as a line item or specification in any of the posted solicitations.

The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the recent procurement activity indicates the code sees little or no relevant current activity for organic damson plums at the state and local level. School districts across Georgia (Glynn County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Bartow County, Early County), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) are actively soliciting fresh produce contracts, but none reference damson plums in their specifications. The purchasing pattern across these jurisdictions emphasizes high-volume staples (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, potatoes) and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program items rather than specialty or organic single-fruit varieties. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for practical business development purposes and monitor broader fresh-produce commodity codes under UNSPSC 50 (Agricultural Products) for actual school district buying patterns.
