UNSPSC 50365846: Canned or jarred laroda plums

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

UNSPSC 50365846 Canned or jarred laroda plums is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products far more broadly than the specific plum designation. Recent opportunities show school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and assorted canned fruit items rather than laroda plums specifically. The code sees regular activity from state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, school districts, and boards of education across multiple states, with issuing bodies ranging from large urban districts (Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District) to smaller county systems and state-level procurement offices. Work falls into two main streams: bulk commodity food procurement for institutional food service operations, and individual product procurement for school nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts appear repeatedly as active buyers under or closely adjacent to this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia based on recent solicitation volume, with school nutrition procurement showing particular density in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, priced historically at $21.84 per case and delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; the Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products including spice and ice cream lots for the 2026-2027 school year with proposals due April 2, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years. The Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative procurement in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two illustrates the scale of institutional food service demand. Buy American requirements and domestic commodity content minimums (51 percent for processed items) appear consistently across school-district procurements, and vendor insurance requirements typically range from $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability depending on issuing body.
