UNSPSC 50365804: Canned or jarred autumn beaut plums

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

UNSPSC 50365804 Canned or jarred autumn beaut plums, a Commodity code, captures state and local government purchases of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, particularly in school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and senior services. The code appears in recent solicitations alongside broader food-commodity procurements, though specific autumn beaut plum line items are not explicitly named in the available opportunities. Recent state and local buyers have posted for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed canned vegetables and proteins, suggesting that canned fruit purchases are bundled into larger food-service contracts rather than procured as standalone items. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county purchasing offices, and independent school districts. Georgia's Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Austin Independent School District are among recent active buyers in this commodity family.

Geographic activity spans multiple regions, with recent solicitations posted from Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in the past five months (ITBs posted May 18 and July 10, 2026, with closing dates of June 2 and July 31 respectively), suggesting recurring quarterly or semi-annual demand. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a large supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County's informal written quote (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items to the Department of Community Services reflects tactical, smaller-volume procurement by county agencies. Most opportunities require FOB Destination delivery with firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA commodity specifications or grade standards, and insurance thresholds of $1 million or higher in general commercial liability. Canned fruit enters procurement channels primarily as a line item within broader food-service contracts, with award typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value basis.
