UNSPSC 50375862: Canned or jarred organic quetsch plum

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

UNSPSC 50375862 Canned or jarred organic quetsch plum is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy shelf-stable canned and jarred produce—applesauce, fruit, and dried fruit products—for food service operations spanning school districts, corrections facilities, state supported living centers, senior services programs, and county nutrition centers. The scope diverges markedly from the code's nominal focus on quetsch plums; recent opportunities show procurement of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and generic fresh and canned produce for institutional feeding programs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), state supported living centers, county boards of education and commissioners (Georgia), independent school districts (Texas), and municipal departments (Connecticut). The code sees activity from corrections facilities and institutional food service operations that buy in volume, with purchases evaluated on firm fixed unit pricing, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, shelf-life requirements, and delivery logistics to multiple distribution points.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce—approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases per solicitation, with historical pricing around $21.83 to $21.84 per case, awarded to vendors such as Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner, and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem within 45 to 60 days of order.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide—210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years—due March 19, 2026.
