UNSPSC 50345838: Frozen hiromi red plums

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

UNSPSC 50345838 Frozen hiromi red plums (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under food-service procurement codes in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a single exotic fruit variety—diverges sharply from what state and local governments are buying. Recent solicitations tagged with or near this commodity code span comprehensive, multi-category food service contracts covering proteins, produce, dairy, prepared foods, pantry staples, beverages, and supplies for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care programs. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Early County, Decatur, Rockwood, Fulton County, Douglas County), state health agencies (Texas HHSC), county governments (Santa Clara), and nonprofits (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Contract values range from approximately $32,000 for a single-item purchase to $9 million annually for comprehensive food distribution. Most opportunities are issued as IFBs with response dates concentrated in late April through July 2026.

The geographic spread favors Georgia school districts, which dominate recent postings with at least nine separate IFBs for school nutrition procurement across multiple counties, alongside Texas state hospital and supported living center contracts (HHSC), California county correctional food services (Santa Clara), and Missouri and Connecticut school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026, with 110+ line items spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and supplies), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 1,100+ line item grocery items to support school nutrition under National School Lunch Program rules (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat to meet CACFP requirements ($969,461 estimated value, sealed bids due June 24, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026). The code itself shows little recent activity as a discrete frozen-plum category; purchasing activity instead clusters under broader food-service and school-nutrition vehicle codes. Vendors pursuing this space should track school district nutrition solicitations and state institutional food service contracts, where the actual procurement volume concentrates.
