UNSPSC 50355828: Frozen organic emerald beaut plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic emerald beaut plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355828 Frozen organic emerald beaut plums (Commodity) does not map to active state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code names a single frozen fruit product, but the recent solicitations tagged under it span broad school nutrition procurement — grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and food supply distribution — with no specific mention of frozen organic plums or any frozen plum products in the scope documents.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, but the actual work being bought encompasses hundreds of line items across produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and frozen and shelf-stable grocery products to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases' IFB for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items with a June 30, 2026 response deadline; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items and a June 26, 2026 due date; the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) bid for grocery items with over 900 line items due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with a March 4, 2026 deadline and estimated annual spending of $5.5 million. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, E-Verify, general liability insurance ($1 million minimum per occurrence), and delivery schedules typically Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the breadth of actual solicitations suggests the code is either overly broad or the opportunities have been miscoded.
