UNSPSC 50375845: Canned or jarred organic king james plums

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

UNSPSC 50375845 Canned or jarred organic king james plums is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows limited direct solicitation for the exact product named. The code appears in a broader category of canned and jarred fruit procurement where state and local buyers—primarily corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county social services—source multiple varieties of canned fruit, applesauce, and mixed processed produce for inmate meals, student nutrition programs, and facility food service. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), county boards of education and social services (Georgia, Connecticut), city school districts (Austin), and county departments of community services (Georgia). The work is predominantly straightforward commodity procurement on firm, fixed-price terms with FOB destination delivery, brand-or-equal specifications where permitted, and compliance with USDA commodity grades and FDA food standards.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Southwest, with recent high-volume solicitations from Texas (Department of Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services Commission, independent school districts), Georgia (state departments, Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), alongside isolated municipal activity (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Austin, Texas). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026, with a 5% combined Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12 months); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026). Delivery cycles are typically 45–60 days for initial orders with subsequent shipments spaced similarly or on call, and pricing remains firm through contract terms unless explicitly permitted adjustments tied to commodity indices or wage increases.
