UNSPSC 50375815: Canned or jarred organic black splendor plums

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

UNSPSC 50375815 Canned or jarred organic black splendor plums is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, institutional dining facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show state and local governments are actually buying a broader range of canned and frozen fruit products — applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh and frozen produce, and mixed shelf-stable food items — rather than the specific organic plum variety the code nominally names. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and independent living centers. The mix tilts toward state-level procurement offices and school nutrition programs sourcing institutional food supplies on annual, quarterly, or standing-order cycles.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce to its Central Distribution Center in Salem (due July 31, 2026, historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026). Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on unit-price evaluation, with FOB destination delivery terms, firm pricing for the contract period, and compliance with federal Buy American provisions and USDA commodity standards.
