UNSPSC 50345844: Frozen kelsey plums

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

UNSPSC 50345844 Frozen kelsey plums is a Commodity code that does not match recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific frozen fruit variety, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad grocery and food service procurement — not the specialized produce item the code nominally identifies. State and local governments are buying comprehensive food bundles for institutional feeding (schools, state hospitals, correctional facilities, child care programs) that include proteins, dairy, prepared foods, fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and supplies — not single-line frozen plum products.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Head Start of Greater Dallas), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County, Oregon Department of Corrections), and one municipal purchasing office (City of Bridgeport for its school board). The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, with representation from Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (bids due June 30, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services serving 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000 (proposals due February 18, 2026). The code shows little activity aligned with frozen kelsey plums specifically; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests misclassification in the state and local tagging systems.
