UNSPSC 50375821: Canned or jarred organic damson plum

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

UNSPSC 50375821 Canned or jarred organic damson plum is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show the code captures a broader range of canned and processed fruits rather than damson plum specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and city school districts. The work being procured spans canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and general commodities for nutrition programs across correctional facilities, veterans homes, state supported living centers, and school nutrition services. Institutional food service procurement under this family typically emphasizes USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, bulk delivery to central distribution points, minimum shelf-life requirements, and brand-or-equal or brand-specific specifications tailored to each buyer's operational needs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases with 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) with proposals due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited broad food and consumable portfolios including fresh and canned fruits for state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia also issued commodity and produce bids. Delivery requirements typically include FOB Destination with prepaid freight, compliance with Buy American provisions for school nutrition programs, and responsiveness to 51 percent domestic content thresholds for processed products.
