UNSPSC 50365871: Canned or jarred royal zee plums

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

UNSPSC 50365871 Canned or jarred royal zee plums (Commodity) covers preserved fruit products, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of canned fruit items including applesauce, canned pears, and mixed preserved fruit rather than royal zee plums specifically. State and local governments procure these items primarily for institutional food service—correctional facilities, schools, hospitals, and state supported living centers—where they serve as shelf-stable, cost-effective components of meal programs. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary, middle, and high school nutrition programs) and state agencies managing food service for incarcerated populations, patients in state-supported living centers, and institutional populations. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and independent school districts in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia have all posted recent opportunities under or closely related to this code, indicating consistent demand from both state correctional and educational procurement offices.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two recent ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026; S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), requesting approximately 4,760 cases and 1,904 cases respectively with FOB destination delivery to Salem, Oregon, and historical pricing near $21.84 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned goods statewide (HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026, then extended; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for state hospitals and supported living centers, with prior period value of $1.5 million. Broader food-service procurements from school districts in Texas (Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD), Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) regularly include canned and preserved fruit items as line items within larger grocery and food-supply contracts, though these opportunities do not isolate the commodity code. Pricing is typically firm-fixed with all transportation prepaid by the contractor on FOB destination terms, and orders are placed as-needed or on recurring schedules tied to school years (July through June) or fiscal periods.
