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

UNSPSC 50345855 Frozen Owen T Plums, a Commodity code, sees state and local procurement activity almost entirely in school nutrition, institutional food service, and specialized food assistance programs, where frozen produce items typically appear as line items within broader grocery or food supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The code's nominal product scope does not align closely with the recent solicitation activity—the opportunities that cite this or related frozen-fruit codes are dominated by school district nutrition programs, state institutional food service (hospitals, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers), Head Start programs, and county school boards sourcing comprehensive grocery and frozen-food portfolios that span proteins, prepared foods, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), county and municipal school districts (Fulton County, Decatur, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Hancock County, Douglas County, Rockwood, Bulloch County), state corrections departments (Oregon DOC), Head Start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), county sheriffs' offices (Santa Clara County), and municipal food-service authorities. Texas HHSC and Georgia school districts emerge as repeat buyers, with Texas HHSC posting multiple statewide commodity solicitations for institutional food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and scattered other states including Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, Oregon, and California, with Georgia school districts particularly active in fresh-produce and frozen-food procurements. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (posted July 13, 2026, due July 27, 2026) for approximately 110 line items of groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital under a firm fixed-price model with prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (posted June 24, 2026) seeking primary, secondary, and tertiary food suppliers for Child and Adult Care Food Program items across 32,409 estimated cases with total estimated value of $969,460.94; Fulton County Schools IFB 190-26 (posted February 5, 2026, due March 10, 2026) for ice cream and frozen novelties across 94 schools; and Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual spend of $9 million across 32 schools. Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA nutrition and Buy American standards, HACCP and food-safety documentation, general liability insurance typically at $1 million per occurrence, and delivery within specified windows to multiple school or facility locations.
