UNSPSC 50345821: Frozen damson plum

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

UNSPSC 50345821 Frozen damson plum is a Commodity code naming a single food product line. State and local governments rarely solicit frozen damson plums as a standalone line item; instead, the code sits within broader frozen-fruit and produce solicitations that school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities issue to supply institutional meal programs. Recent opportunities show this commodity is typically bought as part of mixed frozen-fruit, frozen-vegetable, or comprehensive grocery contracts rather than as an isolated procurement. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (school boards and districts), state institutional food services (health and human services commissions and supported living centers), and county detention facilities. School districts represent the largest buyer category, with multiple Georgia school systems (Fulton County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Early County, Henry County, Douglas County) and Missouri systems (Rockwood R-VI) recently issuing food solicitations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (Big Spring State Hospital, El Paso State Supported Living Center) and Texas Head Start organizations also appear as repeat buyers. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school nutrition programs and Texas institutional food service.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which covered approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples spanning NIGP commodity classes 375–395; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BID052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, due June 30, 2026, with Buy American requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce for child-care programs, with sealed bids due June 24, 2026, evaluated on unit price (weight 5), product quality (weight 4), and delivery and service (weight 3). The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) covered 72 line items across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively. Frozen damson plums do not appear by name in any of the recent solicitations reviewed; the code shows activity only within mixed-commodity grocery and frozen-fruit category buys, not as a standalone procurement vehicle.
