UNSPSC 50375857: Canned or jarred organic pink delight plums

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

UNSPSC 50375857 Canned or jarred organic pink delight plums (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct correlation with the stated commodity. The code nominally specifies a single specialty canned fruit item, yet the opportunities solicited under it encompass broad food and consumables procurement spanning proteins, dairy, grains, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, applesauce, and miscellaneous shelf-stable staples for school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and correctional facilities. State and local issuing bodies treating this code tier include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and specialized state entities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). The mismatch between the code's narrowly defined scope—organic canned pink delight plums—and the generalized food commodity purchases actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code's name does not reflect current purchasing intent.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Illinois (state-level food procurement for veterans homes), Oregon (state corrections applesauce), Texas (school district, state health and human services, criminal justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with a due date of October 19, 2026, and Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a due date of July 31, 2026 and an historical award price of $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a due date of July 13, 2026. These opportunities emphasize firm, fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA standards and food safety certifications, and evaluation on best value rather than price alone. No recent opportunities showed evidence of set-asides or vendor preferences specific to disadvantaged enterprises or local vendors under this code.
