UNSPSC 50365847: Canned or jarred late rosa plums

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

UNSPSC 50365847 Canned or jarred late rosa plums is a Commodity code with minimal direct recent activity; the opportunities tagged to it involve canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad-spectrum food supply procurement rather than plums specifically, indicating a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually sourcing under this classification. When recent state and local solicitations do target canned and jarred fruit products, they are typically embedded within larger food service procurement for correctional facilities, schools, and state health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System), and city education systems (Bridgeport Board of Education). School nutrition programs constitute the largest share of issuing bodies, with multiple Georgia and Texas school districts soliciting food products on annual cycles aligned to fiscal and academic calendars.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas appearing most frequently across state health services, criminal justice, and school district procurements. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026, under the OregonBuys system with 10 percent Oregon preference), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (estimated prior-period value $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items including apples and berries (bids due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB BNB053266 for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center (115 line items, electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certification applicable). Pricing in institutional food procurement typically remains firm fixed for annual contract periods; delivery frequency varies by institution type, with school districts requiring weekly or multiple-times-weekly service and correctional and health facilities operating on scheduled replenishment cycles. The code shows consistent activity in Q2 and Q3 procurement windows aligned to school-year and fiscal-year cycles, though the current tagged opportunities diverge significantly from the plum-specific scope, suggesting either broad tagging practices or category misalignment in state procurement systems.
