UNSPSC 50355858: Frozen organic president plums

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

UNSPSC 50355858 Frozen organic president plums is a Commodity code for specialty produce items in state and local food service procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a much broader scope than the specific code name suggests — state and local governments are soliciting shelf-stable grocery staples, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared breakfast and lunch items for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and board of education food and nutrition operations. Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (informal written quote, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of canned and shelf-stable food items illustrates the pattern: peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (frozen organic plums) and the work actually being bought (general food service procurement across multiple categories) signals that this code may be a catch-all or legacy classification for produce-related line items within broader food service solicitations.

Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), municipal procurement bureaus (City of Bridgeport), independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). School boards and county social services departments are the primary repeat buyers. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and State of Georgia) with Connecticut representation (City of Bridgeport). Representative opportunities include Bridgeport's grocery-items procurement (IFB, electronic submission through OpenGov, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under National School Lunch Program requirements, and Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB for 2026-27 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus for three school sites. Most solicitations carry Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP certification, and general liability insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence.
