UNSPSC 50345813: Frozen black giant plums

The variety of plums known as black giant plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345813 Frozen black giant plums (Commodity) encompasses state and local procurement of frozen plum products and other specialty frozen fruits for institutional food service operations. The code shows limited direct activity under its specific commodity classification; recent state and local solicitations tag frozen fruit procurement broadly under aggregate grocery and food supply categories rather than isolating frozen plum varieties. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions procuring for institutional facilities (hospitals and state supported living centers), county and municipal school systems purchasing for child nutrition programs, detention and correction facilities, and Head Start and early childhood care programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia-based school districts dominate recent posting activity, with individual solicitations ranging from small supplemental frozen-fruit buys (Oregon Department of Corrections, 40,000 pounds of frozen berries at approximately $35,600) to large statewide institutional contracts (HHSC supplemental food and consumables at $4.5 million maximum value across multiple facilities). Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with scattered activity in California, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, New Jersey, and other states.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (posted July 13, 2026, due July 27, 2026), covering 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, beverages, and supplies with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (posted June 30, 2026, due same day, covering 1,100+ line items with Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance); and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries (posted April 9, 2026, due April 23, 2026, seeking one truckload of 40,000 pounds of unsweetened IQF berries). The code sees active procurement but primarily as one component within broader institutional food supply aggregations rather than as standalone frozen plum procurement.
