UNSPSC 50375801: Canned or jarred organic amber jewel plums

The variety of organic plums known as organic amber jewel plums that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375801 Canned or jarred organic amber jewel plums is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely solicit under this specific designation; recent opportunities reflect much broader food procurement activity spanning fresh produce, shelf-stable staples, frozen items, and institutional food service rather than organic plums alone. The issuing bodies are highly diverse—state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), counties (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), cities (Bridgeport, Austin), and school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education)—procuring food supplies for corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, veterans homes, schools, and county services. The work itself falls squarely within institutional food service procurement: sealed-bid and RFP-based purchases of case quantities of canned, frozen, and fresh food products for cafeterias, nutrition centers, and central warehouses, with firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, FOB destination delivery, and contract terms typically spanning one to two years with optional renewals.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (State of Illinois), and Connecticut (Bridgeport), though the code shows no standout repeat buyer driving volume at a single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (due August 24, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered in five full truckloads to Salem (due July 31, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide spanning 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (response deadline March 19, 2026, now closed). These procurements typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value vendor, mandate commercial general liability insurance of $1 million or more, require Buy American compliance for school lunch programs, and incorporate prevailing wage and state-prompt-payment requirements where applicable. The code itself generates activity but the opportunities are not plum-specific; buyers in this space source across broad commodity baskets and accept equivalent products under brand-or-equal specifications.
