UNSPSC 50355808: Frozen organic beach plum

The variety of organic plums known as organic beach plum that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355808 Frozen organic beach plum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty produce item, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no solicitations for frozen organic beach plums or beach plums in any form. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food procurement for schools, county departments, and state agencies—including shelf-stable pantry items, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and general grocery supplies. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The work being solicited is purchase and delivery of food commodities to support school nutrition programs, senior services, and government food service operations, typically under multi-year contracts with firm pricing and high compliance requirements including USDA Buy American provisions, nutritional standards, temperature-controlled delivery, and HACCP or food safety documentation.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Gwinnett County, and the State of Georgia itself) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026); Bridgeport Board of Education's bid for over 1,100 line items of groceries with a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, emphasizing Buy American compliance and blind laboratory testing; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items and bids due June 26, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid with approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies, bids due June 8, 2026. The code appears to be a source-system misclassification—the UNSPSC category name does not match the actual procurement activity being tagged, and no recent opportunities reflect demand for frozen organic beach plums specifically.
