UNSPSC 50375843: Canned or jarred organic joanna red plums

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

UNSPSC 50375843 Canned or jarred organic joanna red plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this code almost exclusively as part of broader food service contracts for institutional feeding — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services residential centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. The scope does not isolate canned organic red plums as a standalone procurement; instead, the code sits within larger shelf-stable food commodity buys that bundle proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments under a single solicitation. Recent opportunities show buying bodies treating this commodity as one line item among dozens or hundreds in consolidated food supply agreements, with unit pricing typically firm-fixed across the contract term and delivery consolidated to central warehouses or distribution centers. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), county boards of education and school districts, and municipal and county purchasing offices. The State of Illinois appears as a repeat buyer for quarterly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, while the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas health and state agencies issue recurring bids for canned fruit products alongside broader food procurement.

The geographic spread includes Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools and Board of Education), Illinois (state purchasing for veterans' homes), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, state supported living centers, school districts, and corrections), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and additional institutional buyers across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned products under an informal written quote (IWQ) posted October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with proposals due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, at a historical price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under an IFB with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently in school district and state-level food solicitations.
