UNSPSC 50367025: Canned or jarred plantains

The type of fruit known as plantain that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367025 Canned or jarred plantains is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities posted under this code—spanning Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school districts, and Connecticut municipalities—consistently reflect solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-spectrum grocery and food service products. None of the thirteen recent opportunities name plantains, canned or otherwise, as a line item or scope component. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited diverge entirely.

State and local governments do procure canned and preserved fruit products through IFBs and RFPs—Oregon ODOC's ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case (due July 31, 2026) and Texas HHSC's statewide IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers exemplify this category of procurement. However, plantains do not surface in these opportunities or in the school nutrition, institutional food service, or state facility supply work shown here. If plantains are procured at the state and local level, they remain below the visibility threshold of recent public notices. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether demand exists through direct outreach to nutrition directors and food service procurement officers at districts and facilities; the recent-opportunities record suggests minimal or no current activity under this specific commodity classification.
