UNSPSC 50375852: Canned or jarred organic marked red plums

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

UNSPSC 50375852 Canned or jarred organic marked red plums is a Commodity code representing a narrowly defined food product line; in practice, state and local governments purchase this item as part of broader food-service solicitations spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable staples rather than through standalone single-commodity procurements. The recent activity under this code shows that canned and jarred fruits—including applesauce, mixed fruits, and dried fruit products—appear across school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state veterans homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections and human services, state veterans affairs, county boards of education, county senior services, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet USDA commodity specifications, comply with Buy American provisions in school nutrition contexts, maintain product shelf life and temperature requirements, provide delivery to multiple facilities on firm fixed pricing, and submit certifications of compliance with food safety, insurance, debarment, and worker verification standards.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem, due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026; the State of Illinois' multiple quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items statewide with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including fruits for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026. School nutrition and corrections contracting dominates the recent solicitation volume, with state-level procurements typically commanding higher spending and longer contract terms than county or municipal opportunities.
