UNSPSC 50345817: Frozen burgundy plums

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

UNSPSC 50345817 Frozen burgundy plums is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen and specialty produce items supplied to institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show substantially broader grocery and food-service procurement activity than the narrow product category the code name suggests. State and local governments buying under this code purchase comprehensive food-service portfolios—frozen fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, condiments, beverages, and food-service supplies—for school nutrition programs, state institutions, correctional facilities, and child-care agencies. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (particularly Texas HHSC), county boards of education, municipal school districts, and specialized agencies like Head Start programs and county correctional facilities. Texas leads recent activity, with multiple HHSC solicitations for state hospital and supported living center food supply; Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Douglas County, Fulton County, City Schools of Decatur) dominate the recent opportunity mix. Smaller jurisdictions—Santa Clara County, California (correctional food services), New Jersey Department of Human Services (frozen vegetables for nutrition assistance), and Oregon Department of Corrections—round out geographic spread across the West and Northeast.
