UNSPSC 50355809: Frozen organic betty anne plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic betty anne plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355809 Frozen organic betty anne plums (Commodity) reflects minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single frozen fruit product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad, multi-item food procurement — primarily shelf-stable and fresh grocery items for school nutrition programs and county social services. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables with responses due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids on over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products in support of the National School Lunch Program (responses due June 30, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, and specialty items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. These solicitations show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity posted against it — the code represents a specific frozen fruit variety, but state and local buyers are using it to tag general food-service bidding across protein, grain, produce, and dairy categories.

Recent activity centers on school districts and county social services in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners all issued school-nutrition-focused solicitations in Georgia between May and October 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a school-lunch-program food bid in June 2026. The State of Georgia itself posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, though scope detail was not provided in the summary. Issuing bodies are predominantly public-school nutrition departments and county food-service operations. The mislabeling of broad food-procurement categories under a specific frozen-fruit commodity code suggests either systematic coding misalignment within these jurisdictions or an artifact of how solicitation-tagging systems handle multi-item food contracts. Business development professionals pursuing frozen-produce supply or similar commodity-specific work should verify the actual scope before responding to opportunities tagged under this code.
