UNSPSC 50365809: Canned or jarred betty anne plums

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

UNSPSC 50365809 Canned or jarred betty anne plums (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food service procurement, though recent opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct activity for the specific product. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruit products—including plums, applesauce, and other shelf-stable fruit items—primarily through corrections departments, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services divisions. The buying pattern reflects food service operations for vulnerable or institutionalized populations: correctional facilities, state hospitals, residential care centers, and public school cafeterias. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health-services departments, county boards of education, independent school districts, and county commissioners' offices. Procurement notices typically use IFB, RFP, or IWQ methods with firm fixed pricing quoted per unit (per case, per ounce, or equivalent measure) and FOB destination delivery terms. Responses emphasize USDA compliance, shelf-life certification, brand-or-equal substitution allowances, and delivery within tight windows—often 45 to 72 hours—to central warehouses or distribution centers.

Recent activity under this code cluster shows Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut as active markets. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026, both due within two weeks of posting), each for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at historical pricing near $21.84 per case, with five percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences applied. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned fruit products (IFB HHS0016792V2, March 2026; HHS0017449, June 2026) with maximum potential values around $1.5–$4.5 million over multi-year periods and minimum 95 percent line-item response requirements. Gwinnett County, Georgia, requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (IWQ 140229, October 2026). The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for veterans' homes on a recurring quarterly basis (multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal solicitations, June–August 2026). Representative opportunities consistently demand USDA 2011 commodity compliance, Buy American content thresholds of 51 percent for processed goods, commercial liability insurance minimums of $500,000–$1 million, and prompt-payment and prevailing-wage compliance. The code shows fragmented, recurring procurement across multiple states with no standout dominant buyer, and opportunities cluster heavily in Q2–Q3 of fiscal years when food service contracts renew or transition.
