UNSPSC 50365848: Canned or jarred linda rosa plums

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

UNSPSC 50365848 Canned or jarred linda rosa plums is a Commodity code that classifies shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products procured for institutional food service, particularly by corrections facilities, state health and human services operations, school nutrition programs, and senior services departments. State and local governments buy canned fruit products—applesauce, mixed fruits, and other varieties—under this code for high-volume cafeteria and nutrition operations where shelf stability, bulk packaging, and standardized USDA commodity compliance are required. The issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, independent school districts, city school nutrition centers, senior services departments, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show repeated procurement by the Oregon Department of Corrections for canned applesauce, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products including canned fruits, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for supplemental food and consumables across multiple state facilities, and school districts and county education systems for nutrition program supplies.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with the Oregon Department of Corrections posting ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 (approximately 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively, bids due June 2 and July 31), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with response due May 4, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables with a March 19, 2026 deadline and a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products, due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Senior Services Center. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut have also solicited food commodities for school nutrition centers. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with proposals due in June and August 2026. Award criteria typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value based on price, compliance with USDA commodity specifications, vendor performance history, and delivery timeline, with FOB destination prepaid delivery standard across jurisdictions.
