UNSPSC 50375813: Canned or jarred organic black giant plums

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

UNSPSC 50375813 Canned or jarred organic black giant plums is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within preserved fruit procurement, but state and local government solicitation activity under this exact code specification is sparse. The recent opportunities sourced under this code span broader food-service categories that include canned and preserved fruits as line items within larger commodity purchases, rather than standalone procurements of organic black giant plums specifically. State and local issuing bodies—counties, school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and municipal school nutrition programs—do purchase canned and jarred fruit products regularly as part of institutional food service, but they typically solicit these items either bundled with dozens of other shelf-stable and fresh food products in multi-category RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, or via standing cooperative agreements. When canned fruit appears as a named line item, specifications often reference brand equivalency ("brand or equal") and USDA commodity standards, with delivery FOB destination and firm-fixed pricing expected. Issuing bodies frequently bundle fruit procurement with proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies in single awards to minimize vendor management overhead; school districts and state-operated facilities (corrections, health services, senior services) constitute the primary buyer base.

Geographic activity under this code spans multiple states with no clear concentration. Recent opportunities named Gwinnett County (Georgia), the State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District (Texas), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026 (solicitations S2910000016975 and S2910000017453, both due in early June and July respectively, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case), indicating repeated category-level procurement but not specifically for organic black giant plums. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, represents one of the largest active procurements; however, no line-item detail specific to organic plums is published. The Gwinnett County October 2026 RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) and the Hancock County Schools June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) are representative of routine county and school nutrition purchasing but do not isolate organic black giant plums as a standalone requirement.
