UNSPSC 50315830: Organic freedom plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic freedom plums

UNSPSC 50315830 Organic freedom plums, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic freedom plums, organic plums of any variety, or plums as a standalone product line. Instead, all seventeen posted opportunities solicit fresh produce more broadly—apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus, and other staples—or fresh produce bundled with other food service items for school nutrition programs. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, and the activity does not reflect a meaningful category for plum procurement at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are predominantly school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with one state-level food procurement from Georgia and one regional cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts). Geographic concentration is highest in Georgia, where Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County school systems posted opportunities between February and July 2026. Florida and Texas representation includes Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa) and school districts in the McAllen and Austin independent school systems. The representative recent opportunities show school nutrition programs posting RFPs and IFBs with response dates ranging from March through July 2026—for instance, Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 at $78,000 annual value, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a contract period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Because the code's nominal definition does not align with the solicitations tagged under it, this summary serves primarily as a signal that the code should not be used for tracking state and local produce procurement opportunities.
