UNSPSC 50375816: Canned or jarred organic blackamber plums

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

UNSPSC 50375816 Canned or jarred organic blackamber plums (Commodity) describes shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader food-service purchasing for institutional cafeterias, food-assistance programs, and nutrition centers. Recent solicitations show this code capturing only tangentially related acquisitions—the opportunities posted under this taxonomy span fresh produce, general commodity food products, and bulk ingredient procurement rather than organic blackamber plums specifically. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal procurement divisions (City of Bridgeport). The mix skews toward school nutrition and corrections food service, with smaller volumes also supporting state health facilities and senior services programming.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and proteins) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce, approximately 4,760 cases due July 31, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, bid responses due March 19, 2026 (completed). The code shows sparse direct activity for the specific commodity named; state and local procurement offices appear to tag this Commodity code for general institutional food procurement rather than reserving it for organic blackamber plums alone, and no posted solicitations explicitly request that product line.
