UNSPSC 50355825: Frozen organic ebony may plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic ebony may plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355825 Frozen organic ebony may plums is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span shelf-stable and fresh food products for school nutrition programs and senior services — peanut butter, canned proteins, fresh produce, dairy, and condiments — rather than the frozen specialty plum product the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error or that the code is being used as a placeholder within broader food-procurement families. When the scope does align with food procurement generally, issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state agencies (State of Georgia); school districts drive the bulk of recent activity, typically soliciting through IFB or informal written quote (IWQ) notices to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items including apples, berries, melons, and specialty items) with bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery required to three school sites from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) via IWQ with quotes due October 19, 2026 for the Department of Community Services. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and Bridgeport Board of Education sought bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery items (breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats) subject to Buy American Provision requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 for a July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract term. The State of Georgia also posted a food-supplies bid with a June 22, 2026 due date. Most school-district contracts require firm fixed pricing, HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, product liability and general liability insurance, and compliance with USDA and CFR nutrition and sourcing standards.
