UNSPSC 50355856: Frozen organic perdrigon plum

The variety of organic plums known as organic perdrigon plum that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355856 Frozen organic perdrigon plum is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of frozen specialty fruit products for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent opportunities show school districts and food service authorities purchasing frozen plums as part of broader grocery and produce contracts supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The Commodity sits within a larger family of institutional food procurement where frozen fruit specifications typically require USDA compliance, nutrition fact labeling, whole-grain or low-sodium alignment, and adherence to Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—ranging from small districts like Early County Board of Education to larger systems like Rockwood R-VI School District (serving nearly 19,000 students) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System—along with occasional city purchasing offices handling food for school nutrition (such as City of Bridgeport). Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, demonstrate 24/7 food recall accessibility, carry liability insurance typically in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range, comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products), and deliver to multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges permitted.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery procurement (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products with blind testing and nutritional analysis requirements; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) across 200+ items with three delivery locations; Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual expenditure serving 25,500 students; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery bid (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS. School districts typically award on a line-item basis to lowest responsive and responsible bidders, reserve the right to split awards among multiple vendors by product category, and contract for one-year terms with renewal options extending up to three or four additional years contingent on performance and pricing competitiveness.
