UNSPSC 50345825: Frozen ebony may plums

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

UNSPSC 50345825 Frozen ebony may plums (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no sourcing of frozen ebony may plums; instead, they document large-scale food service provisioning for institutional and school nutrition programs, spanning groceries, fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies—a mismatch between the taxonomy label and real buying behavior. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Fulton County, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI, Hillsborough County) and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), with one county correctional facility (Santa Clara County) and one Head Start nonprofit. Most solicitations are issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB) or Requests for Proposal (RFP) for annual or multi-year supply contracts, with base terms typically running July 1 through June 30 and standard renewal provisions extending up to five years. Contracts emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food safety standards, and delivery to multiple sites within specified temperature and timing parameters.

Geographic concentration is heavily Southern, with Georgia the dominant source (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Bulloch County, Fulton County, Decatur, Hancock County, Early County), followed by Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Florida (Hillsborough County), California (Santa Clara County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and New Jersey (Department of Human Services). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (closed June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce totaling $969,460.94 (bids due June 24, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (bids due March 4, 2026). The code shows no activity aligned to its stated commodity—frozen ebony may plums—and does not represent a viable targeting vector for suppliers of that specific item.
