UNSPSC 50345870: Frozen royal red plums

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

UNSPSC 50345870 Frozen royal red plums (Commodity) shows sparse recent state and local procurement activity. Frozen fruit procurement for institutional food service does occur under this code, but only one recent opportunity directly references frozen plums by specific variety. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an Invitation to Bid on April 9, 2026 (due April 23, 2026) for frozen fruit berries—blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries, or other varieties—estimated at 40,000 pounds per full truckload, delivered FOB Destination to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. That procurement, while frozen fruit, does not specify plums. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county institutions across Texas and Georgia have posted multiple food-service solicitations over the same period covering broad frozen and fresh produce categories, but frozen royal red plums have not appeared as a distinct line item in any of the representative opportunities the source identifies.

The recent activity instead clusters around comprehensive grocery and produce procurement by school nutrition programs, state hospital food services, and correctional facilities across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, California, Oregon, and New Jersey. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Decatur, Bulloch County, Rockwood, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Hancock County, Early County, Fulton County, and Douglas County), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), and county detention facilities (Santa Clara). When frozen fruit appears at all in these solicitations, it is bundled into broad frozen-foods or produce categories spanning berries, vegetables, and prepared items rather than cited as a standalone commodity. No current solicitations in the source name frozen royal red plums as a targeted procurement line, suggesting the code either sits dormant in recent state and local practice or is displaced by broader aggregated produce categories that vendors supply on a line-item basis within larger district or institutional food contracts.
