UNSPSC 50355872: Frozen organic roysum plums

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

UNSPSC 50355872 Frozen organic roysum plums is a Commodity code representing specialty frozen fruit products sourced for school district nutrition programs. The recent solicitations indicate that state and local governments procure frozen and fresh produce—including conventional and organic variants—as components of comprehensive grocery and food service contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. While the code nomenclature specifies a narrow product line, the actual buying activity reflects broader produce procurement where frozen plums appear as line items within multi-hundred–item food service RFPs rather than as standalone category buys. School districts and their food service departments are the primary issuing bodies, with administrative oversight occasionally routed through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut school districts. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an RFP for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, encompassing frozen products among breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, vegetables, fruits, and dairy—subject to Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) solicited frozen foods and grocery items under IFB with bids due May 15, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with proposals due March 4, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) also issued multi-hundred–item grocery and produce contracts during this period. All contracts include firm pricing through the contract term (typically July 1 to June 30 of the following year), delivery Monday through Friday to school sites, HACCP documentation, liability insurance, and compliance with federal nutrition and Buy American standards. No budget values or award decisions are identified in the available records.
