UNSPSC 50315854: Organic october sun plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic october sun plums

UNSPSC 50315854 Organic october sun plums is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific fruit variety, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows the code capturing broader fresh produce sourcing for school nutrition programs. School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin are using this code—along with closely related produce codes—to solicit fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives, and farm-to-school sourcing. The actual work being bought spans comprehensive fresh produce procurement, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, compliance with HACCP plans and food traceability requirements, Buy American provisions, and adherence to USDA whole-grain and nutrition standards. Districts are increasingly emphasizing local and regional sourcing (within 50–400 miles), organic and sustainably grown products, and alignment with farm-to-school and Good Food Purchasing Program objectives. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education—ranging from small rural districts (Early County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Hancock County in Georgia) to large urban systems (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin). The State of Georgia has also posted a broader food supplies solicitation under this family. Repeat activity from Georgia school districts is notable, with multiple simultaneous IFBs and RFPs posted in March and April 2026.
