UNSPSC 50355840: Frozen organic howard sun plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic howard sun plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355840 Frozen organic howard sun plums is a Commodity code for a specific fruit product that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. While the code name references a discrete commodity, recent state and local solicitations tag frozen produce more broadly — including frozen fruits, vegetables, and prepared items — alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees as part of comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, along with occasional county boards of education and city school systems, all of which purchase frozen and fresh produce annually to serve thousands of students across multiple sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with the largest and most active solicitations posted by Douglas County School System (serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with an estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two for fresh produce and eggs under RFP SN 26-004), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (requesting fresh produce for 60 school sites), Decatur City Schools (frozen foods and grocery items for ten school sites under IFB), Early County Board of Education (approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies), and Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri (over 900 line items annually serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also solicited grocery items for the Board of Education with an electronic bid due June 30, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026. All contracts emphasize Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP compliance, firm pricing with limited escalation allowances, and delivery Monday through Friday within specified time windows to central warehouses and individual school sites, with no separate fuel surcharges permitted and payment terms typically Net 30 to Net 45 days.
