UNSPSC 50365800: Canned or jarred plums

Any of numerous trees and shrubs (genus prunus) with globular to oval smooth-skinned fruits that are drupes with oblong seeds that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365800 Canned or jarred plums is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities under this code do not align with its nominal scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections procured canned applesauce under ITB S2910000017453 (due July 31, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental food and consumable products under multiple IFBs that span bread, bakery items, frozen foods, canned goods, and other staples—none of which are plums. The source shows widespread activity in fresh produce, grocery staples, and prepared foods across institutional food service contexts (corrections, schools, state health facilities, child nutrition programs), but little to no recent solicitation activity specifically for canned or jarred plums. State and local jurisdictions are buying packaged and fresh foods at volume for school districts, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and health services, but the opportunities recorded under this code reflect a mismatch between the taxonomy label and what is actually being solicited.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), special districts (Douglas County School System serving 30 districts through cooperative purchasing), and county health/social services (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state supported living centers). School districts and state institutional food service programs dominate recent activity. Geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' applesauce bid (ITB S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items with an estimated three-year value of $4.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with multiple-year renewal options. The code shows no relevant activity for canned or jarred plums specifically, signaling either a taxonomy classification error in the source data or minimal state and local demand for this commodity under current procurement conditions.
