UNSPSC 50345822: Frozen dolly plums

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

UNSPSC 50345822 Frozen dolly plums is a Commodity code that sees limited direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no frozen dolly plum solicitations; instead, the code is tagged to broader grocery and food service procurements where frozen specialty fruits appear as line items within larger mixed-commodity food contracts. State and local governments buying under this code seek frozen specialty produce for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, child care programs, and board of education food services. When frozen dolly plums are solicited, they appear alongside dozens or hundreds of other food items in all-or-none or line-by-line competitive bids, not as standalone commodity procurements. The solicitations show frozen fruit is integrated into comprehensive food service supply chains where vendors must meet temperature control, shelf-life, HACCP compliance, and USDA food safety standards, with pricing quoted on a per-case or per-unit basis as part of firm fixed-price annual contracts.

State and local food procurement is fragmented across school districts, county governments, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments nationwide. Representative recent activity includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, July 27, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, July 11, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's school nutrition grocery bid (June 30, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation for the 2026-27 school year (June 26, 2026). Geographic activity spans Texas (multiple HHSC state hospital procurements), Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Henry County, Fulton County school districts), Connecticut (Bridgeport), California (Santa Clara County corrections), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). The code shows steady activity through mid-2026 with contract terms typically running July through June aligned to school fiscal years, though state institutional feeding programs operate year-round. Frozen specialty fruits like dolly plums compete on price, quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with federal nutrition and food safety standards in a buyer-driven market where school districts and state agencies award contracts based on lowest responsive bid or best value across multiple vendors.
