UNSPSC 50315856: Organic perdrigon plum

The variety of organic plums known as organic perdrigon plum

UNSPSC 50315856 Organic perdrigon plum is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurement of perdrigon plums. Instead, the code's recent activity captures broad fresh-produce solicitations by school districts across Georgia and Texas for produce-supply contracts supporting National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA-funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. School nutrition departments are the primary buyers, issuing bids and RFPs for comprehensive produce assortments—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, tomatoes, and other items—typically with response deadlines in March through July 2026 and contract terms running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The work spans single-commodity supply (such as Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFB for petite bananas with estimated annual value of $78,000) to multi-item agreements covering 60–300 line items of mixed produce delivered weekly to multiple school sites. Buy American provisions are standard, with domestic commodity or 51%-domestic-content requirements across most solicitations. Geographic preference for local or regional sourcing appears in several opportunities: Bartow County School System and Bulloch County School District specify produce grown within 400 and 200 miles respectively, while McAllen ISD prioritizes products within 50 miles of McAllen or elsewhere in the United States where cost and quality are equal.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by county and independent school districts in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with stand-out repeat buyers including Madison Metropolitan School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System (issuing through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts across two Georgia regions). Georgia school systems account for the largest volume of recent activity; representative current solicitations include Liberty County's IFB for produce and food products due April 29, 2026 (estimated $4.4 million annually for Area One through the GEC cooperative), Glynn County's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce with sealed bids due April 14, 2026, and Muscogee County's ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce line items due April 27, 2026. Texas activity includes Austin ISD's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026) and McAllen ISD's RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce supporting 20,000 students (due March 6, 2026, with Addendum 2 extending the deadline). These opportunities are actively competitive, with evaluation placing significant weight on price (typically 30–50 points), vendor qualifications and experience (15–30 points), and product quality and compliance (10–30 points); several allow multiple-vendor awards on a line-item basis. The code shows no recent activity for organic perdrigon plums specifically, suggesting either that individual specialty-commodity procurement is not captured at this code level or that current school nutrition contracting focuses on broader commodity bundles rather than single heirloom or specialty fruit varieties.
