UNSPSC 50365865: Canned or jarred red ram plums

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

UNSPSC 50365865 Canned or jarred red ram plums, a Commodity code, shows limited direct match to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific canned fruit product, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food-service commodities for institutional cafeterias and food service operations — categories that diverge materially from the code's nominal scope of red ram plums specifically.

Institutional food service buyers dominate the activity: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools, Dallas ISD), and state agencies (Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These issuing bodies procure canned and preserved fruits as part of much larger commodity food contracts — typically 200 to 900 line items spanning proteins, vegetables, grains, and dairy alongside fruit products. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; and the Dallas Independent School District's RFP JC250079 for various food products including canned and preserved items for the 2026-2027 school year, due April 2, 2026. Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois, and other states, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations as the primary procurement drivers.

The code shows little relevant standalone activity — state and local buyers do not solicit canned red ram plums as discrete line items or focused procurement categories. Instead, canned fruit products, when present, appear as minor components within comprehensive commodity food contracts serving thousands of meals daily. Pursuit under this code requires treating it as part of broader food-service-supply relationships rather than as a standalone product category.
