UNSPSC 50365820: Canned or jarred catalina plums

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

UNSPSC 50365820 Canned or jarred catalina plums (Commodity) shows minimal direct recent activity, but the code sits within a broader category of canned and preserved fruit products that state and local governments actively purchase for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under related canned fruit codes reveal that purchasing bodies acquire canned fruit applesauce, canned pears, and similar preserved fruit items in bulk for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and other food service operations. Work under this code typically involves supplying palletized cases of canned or jarred fruit meeting USDA commodity specifications, with firm-fixed pricing quoted per case and delivered FOB destination to central warehouses or distribution centers on 45- to 60-day delivery schedules.

State corrections departments and state health and human services commissions dominate procurement activity for canned fruit products. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) posted repeated solicitations for canned fruit applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), requesting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem at the historical price of roughly $21.83 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued parallel requests for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792, extended to February 23, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years). Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school districts and regional education cooperatives also entering procurement for canned and preserved fruit items. Bidders must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, comply with Buy American and USDA commodity specifications, and quote firm prices inclusive of transportation and fuel surcharges on FOB destination terms, with no protests permitted in some jurisdictions.
