UNSPSC 50345841: Frozen interspecific type plums

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

UNSPSC 50345841 Frozen interspecific type plums, a Commodity code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity shown in the recent opportunities. The source contains no solicitations specifically for frozen interspecific type plums or any single frozen fruit product at a commodity level. Instead, the recent opportunities span broad food service and school nutrition procurement—institutional groceries, fresh produce, frozen foods and vegetables, ice cream, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive meal-supply contracts—none of which isolates frozen plums as a line item or primary procurement focus. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under food-service and school nutrition codes include state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county school boards (Fulton County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County in Georgia; Henry County in Georgia; Rockwood in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), city school systems (City Schools of Decatur, Bridgeport Board of Education), Head Start programs, county detention facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff), and state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections). These buyers typically source food through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response windows of two to eight weeks, and they award based on lowest responsive bid, best value, or weighted criteria that may include price, quality, delivery capability, and compliance with federal food-service standards including Buy American provisions and USDA nutrition requirements.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations), Georgia (numerous school district procurements), Florida (Hillsborough County), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Oregon, California (Santa Clara County), and multiple other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (July 27, 2026 response) for groceries serving Big Spring State Hospital; Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BID052266 (June 30, 2026, past due) for over 1,100 grocery line items; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (June 24, 2026, past due) for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat to a $969,460.94 estimated value; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 (April 23, 2026, past due) for 40,000 pounds of frozen berries at approximately $35,600. The code shows no recent activity targeting frozen plums as a differentiated commodity; business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement and redirect search criteria to broader food-service family codes or specific frozen-produce categories.
