UNSPSC 50345860: Frozen purple majesty plums

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

UNSPSC 50345860 Frozen purple majesty plums, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities in the block span school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and Head Start agencies, but none specifically target frozen purple majesty plums or other specialty frozen fruit varieties by that botanical designation. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and state school districts have posted multiple grocery and food-service solicitations covering broad frozen-product categories, yet the language consistently describes "frozen foods" and "frozen vegetables" as generic line items within larger meal-service contracts rather than discrete specialty-fruit procurements. The one exception is Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen fruit berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries), posted April 9, 2026, with bids due April 23, 2026 — a single-commodity frozen-fruit procurement with an estimated volume of 40,000 pounds; however, this solicitation does not specify purple majesty plums and reflects regional institutional demand rather than a pattern of state and local buyers actively sourcing this variety.

State and local procurement under frozen fruit falls most heavily within school nutrition programs, with standardized grocery bundles that absorb frozen produce as subordinate line items in larger food-service awards. Texas health and human services agencies, Georgia school districts, and correctional and institutional food services dominate the recent-opportunities block. Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, and California, but frozen plums appear nowhere as a discrete line item or vendor focus in any of the posted opportunities. The absence of dedicated plums-focused solicitations—whether fresh or frozen—suggests this code ranks as a low-activity category for state and local food procurement; firms pursuing this code would be better positioned targeting food-service distributors or institutional meal providers as downstream customers rather than bidding directly on state and local RFPs.
