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, a Commodity code, sees modest state and local procurement activity concentrated in school nutrition programs and institutional food service for correctional and health facilities. The solicitations under this code reflect a narrower category than the abstract code name suggests: state and local buyers are actually procuring canned fruits broadly—applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit products—rather than organic-marked red plums specifically. School districts, departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and state procurement offices for institutional care facilities drive the bulk of recent activity. Canned fruit procurement emphasizes USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing quoted per case or unit, FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid, and minimum shelf-life requirements (typically one year). Quantities are substantial, ranging from roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases per solicitation for smaller institutional contracts and into the hundreds of thousands of cases annually when aggregated across statewide programs.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historically and delivery to Salem; Robbins Sales held the prior award as of June 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables (including canned goods) across state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and multiple Georgia school boards have solicited canned and processed fruit products as part of larger Master Grocery and food service contracts under IFB and RFP methods, with response dates clustered in April and May 2026. The category shows regular procurement rhythm tied to school fiscal years and institutional food service budgets but lacks the volume or pricing transparency of commodity-class food items, suggesting competition remains open to qualified regional and national food service distributors meeting USDA and FDA standards.
