UNSPSC 50345852: Frozen marked red plums

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

UNSPSC 50345852 Frozen marked red plums is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line within institutional food procurement. State and local governments do not currently source frozen marked red plums through any recent posted opportunity in the dataset; instead, jurisdictions are buying frozen produce more broadly. The recent solicitation activity under this code tier shows state and local buyers procuring frozen fruits and vegetables as components of larger food service contracts—examples include the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 solicitation for 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (bids due August 19), the New Jersey Department of Human Services' May 2026 rebid for frozen vegetables in mixed-vegetable varieties (bids due June 17), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements spanning frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Corrections, Texas HHSC, New Jersey DHS, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), county governments (Gwinnett County, Collier County), city departments (Bridgeport Board of Education), specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and regional government bodies. The mix tilts toward state-level institutional buyers (particularly Texas HHS) and school districts, with sporadic county and municipal participation.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Northeast (New Jersey, Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce bid for school nutrition (200+ line items, bids due June 26); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for food items including shelf-stable and frozen products (quotes due October 19, due to funding requirements by December 7); the Texas HHSC's August 2026 frozen-food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers across 106 line items with an estimated annual value of $9 million (bids due August 18); and Head Start of Greater Dallas' June 2026 grocery bid for child care programs (approximately 32,409 cases total, estimated value $969,460.94, primary, secondary, and tertiary supplier evaluation, bids due June 24). The code itself shows negligible direct demand for the specific product "frozen marked red plums"—opportunities tag frozen fruit and vegetable commodities generically or by institutional function rather than by individual fruit variety. Vendors pursuing this code should target institutional food service broadline suppliers and state-level school nutrition and healthcare procurement rather than narrow specialty frozen-fruit sourcing.
