UNSPSC 50386340: Howard sun plum purees

The variety of plums known as howard sun plums which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386340 Howard sun plum purees is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable and fresh fruit products procured by state and local governments for food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows little activity specifically tagged to plum purees and instead reflects broader fruit procurement across applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities. State and local food service buyers—primarily school districts, state correctional and health facilities, county nutrition programs, and municipal education boards—solicit under this code and related fruit categories for cafeteria operations, senior services distribution, veterans' home meal service, and institutional food supply. The work spans canned and frozen fruit items meeting USDA commodity specifications, fresh produce delivery to central warehouses and facility kitchens, and specialty items like dried fruit bars. Scope requirements commonly include USDA grade compliance, FDA food safety standards, minimum shelf life guarantees (typically one year for canned goods), specific packaging and portion-size standards, domestic content preferences under Buy American provisions, and delivery within 7 to 45 days on FOB Destination terms with prepaid freight and inside delivery to designated sites.

Recent opportunities show activity across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce—S2910000016975 (due June 2, 2026) and S2910000017453 (due July 31, 2026)—each requesting roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference and 5 percent resident-bidder preference applied. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables under HHS0016792v2 (bid closed March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items statewide with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (extended due date May 4, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia bid fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026) with over 200 line items and Buy American compliance required. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Gwinnett County, Georgia both issued commodity food bids in June 2026 with MBE/CBE and domestic-content compliance tied to their respective jurisdictions. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted multiple quarterly food-order procurements (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) in June and August 2026. No opportunities in the block specifically name howard sun plum purees; the code appears underutilized relative to broader fruit and food commodity solicitations.
