UNSPSC 50355801: Frozen organic amber jewel plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic amber jewel plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355801 Frozen organic amber jewel plums, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as part of broader food-service and school-nutrition contracts rather than as standalone purchases. The recent solicitations show that school districts and county agencies buy frozen plums—when they appear at all—as line items embedded in large produce or grocery bids serving National School Lunch Program and school breakfast operations. The code's abstract name does not align closely with the actual procurement activity: the most recent opportunities are large, multi-hundred-line-item food bids that span fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables and fruits, pantry staples, and non-food supplies. Individual frozen fruit items like amber jewel plums are typically priced competitively within those broad categories rather than solicited as discrete commodities. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), city school departments (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county agencies managing senior services and community programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the issuing body mix and represent the steadiest buyer segment.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut based on recent postings. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce across three school delivery locations. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for the 2026-27 school year. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, though this solicitation listed canned and packaged goods rather than frozen produce. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids on over 1,100 grocery-line items for the school district (due June 30, 2026) with Buy American compliance and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with full scope in an attached PDF. Frozen organic amber jewel plums show no standalone recent activity; when this UNSPSC code appears in practice, it likely represents a single line item within much larger produce or grocery frameworks where price competition and delivery logistics are driven by the scope of the total food contract rather than the individual frozen fruit commodity.
