UNSPSC 50365816: Canned or jarred blackamber plums

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

UNSPSC 50365816 Canned or jarred blackamber plums (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope; recent opportunities tagged under this code purchase canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broad food service products for correctional facilities, schools, and state health facilities, indicating either category misclassification or sparse demand for the specific commodity named.

State and local issuing bodies—primarily school districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and county boards of education—are sourcing canned and processed fruit products at volume. The Oregon Department of Corrections, for example, solicited ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with estimated contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years; school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia regularly bid fresh produce, dairy, and prepared foods for child nutrition programs. The code appears to conflate or misclassify commodity categories—recent opportunities focus on fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees rather than canned blackamber plums specifically. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Georgia (school districts in Muscogee, Liberty, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock, and Douglas County), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with ongoing opportunities scattered across Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope suggests this Commodity code is either underutilized for its intended product line or systematically miscoded by issuing agencies—either way, vendors pursuing canned blackamber plums specifically will find limited opportunities under this classification.
