UNSPSC 50345845: Frozen king james plums

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

UNSPSC 50345845 Frozen king james plums (Commodity) describes a narrow product line that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone item; the code's nominal scope does not reflect actual recent solicitation activity in the state and local marketplace. Recent opportunities posted under this code predominantly solicit comprehensive grocery and food service procurement across multiple categories—produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and supplies—rather than frozen plums specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity name and the broad food service scope of recent RFPs and IFBs suggests this code may have been applied as a generic classification for food procurement or that the code assignment does not track actual product demand. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county boards of education are the primary issuing bodies across recent opportunities, with school nutrition programs representing the largest segment of activity. State facilities including state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional institutions round out the issuing-body mix.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, California, Missouri, Oregon, and New Jersey. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products statewide (HHS0016792, HHS0017660, and HHS0017449), with response dates spanning February through July 2026 and historical spend baselines ranging from $32,226 to $1.5 million annually. Georgia school districts have issued numerous fresh produce and grocery IFBs and RFPs—Hancock County Schools (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County Board of Education (PE55612NONST2027000000033, due May 4, 2026), Henry County Schools (20261001000317SCHOOLNUTRITIONFOODITEMSANDPRODUCTS, due May 5, 2026), and others—covering 30 to 52 school locations with estimated annual values ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) solicited groceries with Buy American compliance for the National School Lunch Program (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas sought primary, secondary, and tertiary food suppliers (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026, with estimated value $969,460.94), and Santa Clara County (California) sought dried fruits and nuts for correctional food services (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026). Because the code shows little relevant recent demand for frozen king james plums as a distinct product and the opportunities posted under it are for broad food service procurement, vendors pursuing this code should focus on comprehensive food distribution and school nutrition supply capabilities rather than specialized frozen fruit products.
