UNSPSC 50375825: Canned or jarred organic ebony may plums

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

UNSPSC 50375825 Canned or jarred organic ebony may plums is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, captures specialized produce procurement for institutional food service operations rather than specific plum products alone. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily purchasing shelf-stable fruits, canned vegetables, and processed food items for nutrition programs, correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The issuing-body mix includes county boards of education, state corrections and human services departments, county nutrition and senior services divisions, and city boards of education — a broad cross-section of institutional food service providers. Scope varies from small targeted purchases of single items (such as canned applesauce for a corrections facility) to large multi-item commodity packages spanning 200+ line items of fresh and processed produce for school nutrition programs and state hospital systems. All solicitations specify firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA grading or commodity standards where applicable, and mandatory insurance coverage; many require Buy American certification with 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and debarment verification.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with concentrated recent posting in Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia general commodity call), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller for TDCJ), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy multiple quarters), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The most recent and representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' purchase of 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers spanning 210 line items with a three-year maximum value of $4.5 million (HHS0016792v2, closed March 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid for school year 2026-27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce procurements (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical pricing, and an earlier June 2026 round). Responses are due between May and October 2026, with contract terms typically running 12 months through August 31 of the following year; school districts frequently use the RFP and IFB methods, while states and counties use IFB and ITB formats with multiple renewal options common in state healthcare and corrections contracts.
