UNSPSC 50355821: Frozen organic damson plum

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

UNSPSC 50355821 Frozen organic damson plum is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products procured by state and local school districts to support child nutrition programs. State and local governments buy frozen fruit under this code as part of broader school breakfast and lunch offerings, though recent solicitations show this specific item appearing primarily as a line item within large multi-category food procurement RFPs and IFBs rather than as a standalone specialty purchase. Issuing bodies soliciting food products under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education—including city school systems, county boards of education, and regional districts—at the state and local level. These jurisdictions source frozen fruit products alongside broader grocery categories to meet USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain requirements, and Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content) mandated by the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Missouri school districts. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 RFP for over 1,100 grocery line items (notice BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), which encompassed frozen products delivered to a central warehouse and school sites with firm pricing through June 2027; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), covering 200+ produce items across three school locations; and Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 solicitation for 900+ grocery items (due April 29, 2026, with electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS). Frozen fruit items appear consistently in these large-format school nutrition procurements but rarely as specialty standalone buys. No state-level solicitations specifically targeting frozen damson plums or comparable niche frozen fruit items appear in the recent records, suggesting limited direct procurement activity under this code tier at this time.
