UNSPSC 50375826: Canned or jarred organic ebony plums

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

UNSPSC 50375826 Canned or jarred organic ebony plums is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local government purchases of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, including applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food-service commodity bundles for institutions. Recent solicitations show that the code appears to be applied loosely—procurement offices tag diverse food items and multi-line-item food bundles under fruit-related codes without strict adherence to the "organic ebony plums" nominal scope. State and local buyers under this tier include county boards of education (school nutrition), county social services departments, state corrections facilities, state veterans' homes, state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers, and city school districts. Counties and states represent the dominant issuing bodies, with repeat activity from the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon Department of Corrections, and Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ).

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with notable density in the South and West. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026, brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with 10 percent Oregon preference (bids due July 31, 2026, historical award $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education's IFB for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products under the Buy American provision (bids due June 26, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers statewide (proposals due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually). Delivery is typically FOB destination, and most state solicitations require prevailing wage compliance, commercial liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and adherence to federal food safety standards. Food service contracts commonly run twelve months with optional renewal periods.
