UNSPSC 50386311: Black bullace plum purees

The variety of plums known as black bullace plum which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386311 Black bullace plum purees is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the nominal scope. Among the recent opportunities tagged with this code, only the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce bears a plausible connection—the commodity is canned fruit product for institutional food service. The remaining opportunities span broader food procurement for school districts, state health agencies, and county systems, covering fresh produce, dried fruit bars, grocery staples, and general food supply and distribution services that do not align with black bullace plum purees specifically. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, county and independent school districts, and city boards of education across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts (Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Fairfax County, Douglas County, Austin ISD, and Dallas ISD) soliciting fresh produce, canned goods, and prepared foods on annual or multi-year contracts.

The code shows limited recent opportunities specifically for preserved or processed fruit products suitable for institutional use. The Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce procurement (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) represents the clearest match—an IFB for 4,760 cases of USDA-compliant canned applesauce in five truckloads, with 5% combined preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors, a historical price of $21.84 per case, and delivery to Salem. The broader activity reflects state and local agencies' focus on fresh and shelf-stable staples rather than specialty preserved fruit products like black bullace plum purees. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia), South-Central region (Texas, Missouri), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with sporadic activity elsewhere. The code appears underutilized for its nominal scope; vendors pursuing this category should focus on institutional food service channels—particularly corrections, health facilities, and school nutrition programs—where canned and preserved fruit products move regularly, though black bullace plum purees specifically remain a niche procurement relative to mainstream fruit commodities.
