UNSPSC 50375870: Canned or jarred organic royal red plums

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

UNSPSC 50375870 Canned or jarred organic royal red plums, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity focused on shelf-stable canned fruit for institutional food service. The code covers canned and jarred organic red plums purchased primarily by state agencies, county governments, and school districts for nutrition programs, senior services, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes. State and local buyers source canned fruit products—including applesauce, mixed fruit, and other shelf-stable preserves—as components of larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The few solicitations tagged to this code show buyers emphasizing USDA commodity compliance, minimum shelf-life requirements (typically one year), and acceptance of both sweetened and unsweetened varieties in multiple textures (smooth or chunky). Delivery requirements are uniformly FOB Destination with all transportation prepaid by the contractor, and pricing is evaluated on a per-unit or per-case basis with firm fixed rates through contract terms.

Recent opportunities are scattered across the country with activity in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, both with June/July response deadlines), each for approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases delivered to its Salem distribution center, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a 10 percent Oregon resident and goods preference available. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products statewide (May 2026 IFB, $4.5 million potential value over three years) and food items for an El Paso state-supported living center (June 2026 IFB, $1.5 million historical annual value). The State of Illinois issued multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026 RFPs with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options). Gwinnett County in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (October 2026 IWQ with October 19 response deadline). Opportunities typically require three vendor references, proof of liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence is standard), compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, E-Verify authorization, and anti-collusion certifications; payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days.
