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

UNSPSC 50355815 Frozen organic black splendor plums is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under the tagged opportunities. The recent solicitations record procurement of comprehensive fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items — including apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, citrus fruits, leafy greens, potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, and hundreds of other items — to support school nutrition programs and child nutrition services across multiple jurisdictions. The tagged opportunities span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), the State of Georgia, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). Issuing bodies range from individual district nutrition services managing single-school and multi-site delivery networks to regional buying cooperatives aggregating demand across dozens of participating districts. The work centers on line-item produce and grocery bidding tied to school meal programs, with vendors meeting USDA Buy American provisions, HACCP food-safety protocols, federal nutrition standards (Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations), cold-chain logistics to multiple school sites, and firm pricing over 12-month contract terms.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery-item line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, the Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, apples through specialty fruits and leafy greens), the Rockwood R-VI School District's April 29, 2026 electronic IFB for over 900 grocery items across snacks, meats, dairy, and condiments, and the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs distributed across a GEC cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Vendors face stringent compliance requirements including liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, written nutritional and ingredient documentation, food-recall accessibility, and in several cases blind taste and laboratory testing at vendor expense. Payment terms run Net 30 to Net 45 days, with pricing firm for the full contract period unless major market changes (typically 3 to 5 percent thresholds with documented market data) are documented.
