UNSPSC 50386321: Damson plum purees

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

UNSPSC 50386321 Damson plum purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed fruit products supplied to state and local institutions, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly solicit generic canned fruit applesauce, fresh produce, and broad food-service commodities rather than damson plum products specifically. School districts and state health and corrections agencies dominate the issuing body mix, with school nutrition programs and institutional food services representing the primary buying pattern. The scope of work extends across canned fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, fresh produce for K–12 meal programs, dried fruit bars, and assorted food consumables for correctional facilities and state-supported living centers, all subject to Buy American requirements and USDA food safety standards including HACCP compliance and recall procedures. Procurement approaches vary from ITBs and IFBs for quantity buys to RFPs for multi-vendor supply arrangements, with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and weekly or scheduled replenishment common across opportunities.

Issuing bodies span Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), Austin and Dallas independent school districts, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut). Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Missouri school districts, with secondary activity in Oregon (corrections), Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response deadline July 31, 2026) at an estimated $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum potential contract value $4,500,000 over three years, bid deadline March 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K–12 supply to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens across Fairfax County, Virginia (sealed bids due April 27, 2026). No recent opportunities specifically solicit damson plum purees; the code assignment appears misaligned with actual procurement scope.
