UNSPSC 50365855: Canned or jarred owen t plums

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

UNSPSC 50365855 Canned or jarred plums is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for canned or jarred plums. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broader food service categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food supplies for schools, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and other institutional food service operations. While the code's narrow scope (plums specifically, preserved in cans or jars) aligns with the types of commodity food procurement state and local governments conduct, the absence of recent plum-specific solicitations suggests either minimal demand, sporadic buying cycles, or mistagging of opportunities in the procurement system.

The opportunities block does show active food-service procurement across multiple issuing bodies and geographies—Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Bridgeport Connecticut, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. These solicitations employ RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. Geographic concentration leans toward Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with activity also in Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. However, none of these opportunities specifically target canned or jarred plums, making it difficult to characterize current demand, pricing benchmarks, or competitive positioning under this code. A business development professional evaluating this code should monitor for future plum-specific solicitations or consider whether broader canned-fruit or preserved-produce codes might better capture institutional food-service opportunities.
