UNSPSC 50345819: Frozen casselman plums

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

UNSPSC 50345819 Frozen casselman plums (Commodity) has minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to the narrow product scope. The source contains no recent solicitations specifically requesting casselman plums or this variety of frozen stone fruit. Recent state and local opportunities under food-service commodity codes instead solicit broad frozen-fruit and frozen-vegetable categories that span multiple varieties, with frozen fruit procurement typically embedded in larger school nutrition, correctional facility, or state hospital food-service contracts that reference frozen berries, frozen vegetables, or frozen mixed produce without isolating single fruit varieties. The code's narrow commodity specificity—a single cultivar of frozen plum—sits far above the granularity of state and local grocery procurement, which groups frozen fruits into families (berries, tropical blends, mixed fruits) and assigns vendors across line items rather than sourcing individual fruit types separately.

School districts, state health and human services departments, and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Oregon, and California have posted recent food-service bids covering frozen produce, but none of the available opportunities name casselman plums as a line item or reference them by cultivar. Frozen fruit procurement in the recent record appears within broader IFB and RFP notices from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the Douglas County School System (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Head Start of Greater Dallas, and the County of Santa Clara (California), where frozen fruits appear as small components of multi-thousand-line-item grocery or produce contracts. The absence of casselman-plum-specific requisitions suggests that state and local buyers either source this variety through broader frozen-fruit line items or do not regularly procure it. Vendors seeking activity under this code should monitor frozen-fruit line items within school nutrition, institutional food service, and child-care procurement vehicles, particularly through cooperative purchasing arrangements in Georgia and multi-district consortia, but should not expect standalone casselman-plum solicitations.
