UNSPSC 50365874: Canned or jarred saphire plums

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

UNSPSC 50365874 Canned or jarred sapphire plums is a Commodity code that frames state and local procurement activity around canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader range of canned fruit items including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce rather than sapphire plums specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span correctional departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county school systems across multiple states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 and S2910000016975), with the most recent due July 31, 2026, calling for 4,760 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem under a standing FOB destination contract; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods across statewide facility networks (HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2); and school districts including Austin Independent School District, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System have issued RFPs and IFBs for grocery and produce items that incorporate canned and processed fruit alongside fresh inventory.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations posted from Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD), Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state-level correctional and health agencies. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, FOB destination, response due July 31, 2026) with Oregon goods and resident bidder preferences totaling 10%; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and multiple school district RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and grocery items with firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance requirements including Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed goods, and delivery to multiple school locations. Bidders across these opportunities must maintain general commercial liability insurance between $1 million and $2 million per occurrence, comply with federal debarment and E-Verify requirements, and accept FOB destination delivery with transportation charges prepaid by vendors. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear uniformly across the opportunities, though some jurisdictions (Bridgeport, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County) reference MBE/CBE or small business opportunity programs.
