UNSPSC 50386329: Empress plum purees

The variety of plums known as empress plums which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386329 Empress plum purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it diverge significantly from the nominal scope — the opportunities listed involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-supply contracts across institutional food service, rather than plum purees specifically. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, health and human services commissions, school districts, and school system nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts appearing as the most frequent buyers. State departments of corrections and health services also solicit regularly under this code family. Geographic activity spans multiple regions, with concentrations in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD, AISD), Georgia (multiple school districts and boards of education), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (State CPO), alongside activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and other states.

Representative recent opportunities reflect the mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce with a response date of July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10% Oregon goods and local bidder preference and pricing history of $21.84 per case. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with a due date of July 16, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for broad food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a due date of July 13, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a due date of June 26, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center on June 2, 2026, with a due date of June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products. This code shows active state and local procurement volume but little current activity aligned to plum purees as a discrete category.
