UNSPSC 50355806: Frozen organic autumn pride plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic autumn pride plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355806 Frozen organic autumn pride plums is a Commodity code that captures school district procurement of fresh and frozen produce for child nutrition programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying fresh produce, frozen fruits and vegetables, eggs, and related grocery items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across school districts of varying sizes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, ranging from individual district procurement (Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) to cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts (the GEC Buying Cooperative, which spans 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia). A handful of city and county procurement offices also buy under this code on behalf of school nutrition services — notably the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, acting for the Bridgeport Board of Education. While the code's name references a single item (frozen organic autumn pride plums), the actual procurement scope is far broader: solicitations cover 72 to 300+ line items per contract, encompassing fresh apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, dairy products, frozen products, grains, meats, poultry, eggs, and condiments. All products must meet USDA compliance standards, whole-grain requirements, sodium and sugar limits, and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, where the Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and the GEC Buying Cooperative cooperative all posted solicitations between February and June 2026. Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Georgia's State of Georgia procurement office round out the geographic spread. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, bid due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's grocery items bid spanning 1,100+ line items with Buy American domestic-content requirements and National School Lunch Program compliance (electronic bids due June 30, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts via GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement of over 900 line items with electronic bid submission by April 29, 2026. Contracts uniformly require firm pricing for the full term (typically July 1 through June 30, with renewal options), delivery on standard schedules to multiple school sites, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, and compliance with Buy American provisions.
