UNSPSC 50365853: Canned or jarred mirabelle plum

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

UNSPSC 50365853 Canned or jarred mirabelle plum is a Commodity code that spans food service procurement across state correctional systems, school nutrition programs, institutional health facilities, and municipal school districts, though recent opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code; instead, state and local buyers are actively soliciting canned and jarred fruit products more broadly, including applesauce, pears, and mixed preserved fruits for institutional dining and child nutrition services. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems, with repeat activity from Texas institutional buyers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and Oregon's Department of Corrections. Buy American provisions and domestic-content preferences appear consistently across school nutrition procurement, with some jurisdictions applying Oregon or Texas vendor preferences; food safety certifications, liability insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), and compliance with USDA commodity specifications are standard. Canned fruit procurement in this category typically targets institutional food service operations serving inmate and patient populations or student meals, with products required to meet USDA 2011 commodity specifications, FDA standards, minimum shelf-life requirements (usually one year or longer), and delivery via FOB destination prepaid by the contractor.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with notable procurement from Oregon, Texas (statewide and district-level), Georgia school systems, Connecticut municipalities, Illinois state procurement, and Missouri school districts. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting canned applesauce (4,760 cases, approximately 40,000 pounds per truck load) with a July 31, 2026 bid deadline under OregonBuys, offering a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-processed goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders, with the previous award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case; a prior ODOC ITB S2910000016975 (posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026) sought 1,904 cases of canned applesauce at historical pricing of $21.827 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 (and revised version HHS0016792V2) for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School district procurement appears more frequently under related codes than under this specific mirabelle plum commodity; the code shows sparse recent direct activity and may indicate either low demand for this particular preserve variety or classification misalignment in posted solicitations.
