UNSPSC 50355813: Frozen organic black giant plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic black giant plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355813 Frozen organic black giant plums is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty produce items procured primarily by school districts to support child nutrition and school meal programs, though the recent solicitation record shows no opportunities explicitly requesting frozen organic black giant plums by name. Instead, state and local buyers under this code are acquiring broad frozen and fresh produce categories, frozen grocery items, and related food service products as part of comprehensive nutrition program procurement. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) serving as a cooperative anchor for 30 additional districts. The State of Georgia also appears as an issuing body for food and kitchen products. These jurisdictions solicit as part of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contracts typically running July 1 through June 30 annually.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and neighboring states, with five of nine visible opportunities issued by Georgia school districts or cooperative procurement vehicles anchored there. Representative solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026, electronically through OpenGov), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items across multiple produce varieties (due June 26, 2026, sealed bid), Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026, electronic NUTRIKIDS submission), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district buying cooperative with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (proposals due March 4, 2026, through Bonfire portal). All require Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, firm pricing for the contract period excluding fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during operational hours.
