UNSPSC 50355852: Frozen organic marked red plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic marked red plums that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355852 Frozen organic marked red plums is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a single produce item, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code reveals little alignment with that narrow scope. The nine recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 show school districts, county boards of education, and municipalities soliciting bids for broad-based grocery and food-service procurement — typically spanning 300 to 1,100 line items across frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies — rather than solicitations specifically targeting frozen organic red plums. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all classification within school nutrition procurement systems, particularly when produce or frozen items are included as part of a larger mixed-commodity food-service contract. The issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts and school nutrition programs: the City Schools of Decatur, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System (operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two geographic areas), the Bridgeport Board of Education, and the State of Georgia. All opportunities are tied to the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, with four school districts (Decatur, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) and one multi-district cooperative all posting solicitations between February and June 2026. Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education) account for the remaining tracked opportunities. Representative recent procurements include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs to 30 districts across two areas, with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined and proposals due March 4, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a May 15, 2026 deadline; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items and a June 26, 2026 bid due date. All solicitations emphasize Buy American domestic sourcing (typically a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food-safety plans, firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery with no fuel surcharges, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements. The code shows no recent activity outside the school nutrition space and does not reflect procurement of frozen organic red plums as a distinct line item.
