UNSPSC 50365862: Canned or jarred quetsch plum

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

UNSPSC 50365862 Canned or jarred quetsch plum, a Commodity code, sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity, with no opportunities directly soliciting this specific product. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being transacted: recent opportunities tagged to this code request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-category food supplies, none of which align with quetsch plum procurement. State and local issuing bodies—including departments of corrections, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri—are buying food products for institutional feeding, but the sourcing focuses on commodity staples, fresh items, and shelf-stable goods with volume and cost precedence; specialty canned fruits, and specifically quetsch plums, do not appear in the representative recent solicitations.

The mix of recent buyers spans state corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health systems (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts and nutrition programs (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System), and municipal food service (City of Bridgeport). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and secondary presence in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and Northeast (Connecticut). Representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026). The code itself has no current activity aligned to quetsch plums; procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for their purposes and monitor broader food-commodity codes if pursuing state and local food-service supply contracts.
