UNSPSC 50365837: Canned or jarred hiromi plums

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

UNSPSC 50365837 Canned or jarred hiromi plums, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local opportunities in the source. The code nominally describes a specific preserved fruit product—canned or jarred ume or hiromi plums—yet the posted solicitations are for broad categories of food supplies: canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, produce, grocery staples, fresh fruits and vegetables, and food service items for schools, correctional facilities, and healthcare institutions. None of the opportunities name hiromi plums or target specialty preserved plum products. The few opportunities naming canned fruit (Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce bids, for example) specify USDA commodity-standard canned fruit in general, not a defined single product. The mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope and the wide-ranging commodity food procurement activity across the source suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity or that issuers are tagging broad food supply solicitations with codes that do not precisely reflect the goods being purchased.

The activity in the broader food-supply ecosystem shows heavy concentration in school nutrition programs (Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, and Muscogee County School District), state healthcare and correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal institutions (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Most solicitations use IFB or RFP methods with response dates spanning February through July 2026. Geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with 5% Oregon-goods and 5% Oregon-bidder preferences totaling 10%), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, up to $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (76-item minimum across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026). Bidders typically must maintain $1 million to $2 million in commercial general liability insurance, comply with Buy American and USDA commodity standards, and accept firm fixed pricing for contract terms often running one to three years with renewal options.
