UNSPSC 50365803: Canned or jarred aurora plums

The variety of plums known as aurora plums that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365803 Canned or jarred aurora plums, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of state and local food service procurement the recent opportunities block actually reflects. While the code nominally addresses a specific preserved fruit product, recent solicitations under this code span broad fresh and preserved food categories for institutional meal service—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies—indicating significant misalignment between the code label and the work being procured. The issuing bodies mix state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Schools), and county boards of education (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County). School districts dominate recent activity, procuring food products primarily for child nutrition programs serving breakfast and lunch across dozens of school sites per contract.

Recent activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida), with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, delivered to Salem in five truck loads; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for main-line food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million. The code shows considerable recent volume but warrants verification that quoted opportunities actually belong here rather than under broader food-service commodity families.
