UNSPSC 50315860: Organic purple majesty plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic purple majesty plums

UNSPSC 50315860 Organic purple majesty plums (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity code name fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — specifically petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and broad produce categories across multiple produce lines — rather than a specific plum variety. The code appears misapplied to school food service opportunities that span apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items across dozens of line items per contract, suggesting either a data-entry error in the source system or a mislabeling practice that obscures the actual commodity being solicited.

School districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate recent activity. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted two separate RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas and mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, with response dates of July 29, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all issued IFBs, ITBs, or RFPs for fresh produce between February and June 2026, with response dates ranging from March through July 2026. Georgia school districts account for the plurality of recent activity, followed by Texas and Wisconsin. The Douglas County School System RFP, issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative, serves 30 school districts across two geographic regions with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined, indicating significant volume concentration in cooperative procurement vehicles. No incumbent vendors or set-aside preferences appear consistently across the solicitations, though some districts apply geographic preferences or price adjustments for locally sourced or organic produce. The work involves recurring, high-volume food service supply under annual or multi-year contracts tied to school calendar cycles and federal nutrition program funding.
