UNSPSC 50355854: Frozen organic october sun plums

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

UNSPSC 50355854 Frozen organic october sun plums is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific frozen fruit product, but the recent solicitations tagged under it do not reflect procurement of this item. State and local school districts, city governments, and county boards of education are instead soliciting comprehensive grocery, food service, and produce contracts that span hundreds of line items across multiple food categories—frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, vegetables, fruits, beverages, and supplies. The actual work involves vendor selection for full-service school nutrition supply, not procurement of a single frozen fruit SKU. The code's application appears misaligned with the underlying solicitation scope.

The recent opportunities show heavy concentration among school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut, with additional activity from city governments and regional buying cooperatives. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple and vegetable varieties (due June 26, 2026), the Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for over 900 grocery items for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative, with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). All contracts emphasize compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content, HACCP food safety plans, nutrition standards aligned with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and firm pricing throughout the contract period, typically July 1 through June 30. Vendors must carry liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 and meet E-Verify and debarment certification requirements. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the frozen organic plum product it nominally describes.
