UNSPSC 50345863: Frozen red beaut plums

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

UNSPSC 50345863 Frozen red beaut plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this specific product variant through dedicated solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains no bids specifically requesting frozen red beaut plums; instead, the code appears to have been applied to broader grocery and food service solicitations where frozen fruit may be one of many line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging materials. The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the wide-ranging commodity categories in actual procurement documents suggests this code sees minimal targeted activity—frozen plums, when procured at all, are absorbed into composite food service contracts rather than solicited as a distinct commodity.

The issuing bodies soliciting under code-adjacent grocery and food procurement span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC for state hospital and state-supported living center operations), county and city school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County schools in Georgia; Henry County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Fulton County Schools in Georgia), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Santa Clara County, California), specialized federal-program operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs account for the heaviest concentration of recent activity, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements across multiple states. Geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and the broader South and Midwest, with additional activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), covering approximately 110 line items with a prior-year spend of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB SN002-2027 spanning over 200 produce items including multiple apple and vegetable varieties (due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Procurement activity peaked in the March-to-July 2026 window, driven by school year planning cycles and institutional supply renewal.
