UNSPSC 50365858: Canned or jarred president plums

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

UNSPSC 50365858 Canned or jarred president plums is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable preserved fruit products state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, including corrections facilities, schools, senior services, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as part of broader food-commodity procurement—institutional food service departments request canned fruit alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, and other shelf-stable items as part of standing or quarterly contracts rather than as single-item purchases. The buying bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, city school districts, and state-supported residential facilities. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Illinois, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable solicitations in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned fruits and vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables including frozen, fresh, and canned fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and the Bridgeport Board of Education's commodity procurement due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items of food products under Buy American requirements. All recent contracts impose firm, fixed unit pricing on an FOB Destination basis with transportation prepaid, require compliance with USDA standards and FDA regulations, and mandate minimum commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million depending on issuing body.
