UNSPSC 50386342: Jamaican plum purees

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

UNSPSC 50386342 Jamaican plum purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to the state and local contracting opportunities recently posted under this classification. The code's nominal scope—specialty fruit purees from Jamaica—does not align with the products actually solicited in the recent opportunities block, which uniformly feature broad categories of food service commodities for schools, correctional facilities, and state institutions rather than Jamaican plum purees or any comparable specialty fruit purees. Recent postings include canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and staple grocery items sourced from general food service distributors and commodity suppliers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Dallas ISD, Hancock County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and regional cooperatives, indicating steady demand from K-12 nutrition programs and state-operated facilities. The geographic spread extends across the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Connecticut).

Representative recent opportunities demonstrate the actual buying pattern. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and bidders. The Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0016792 (revised as HHS0016792V2) for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, covering 210 line items of bread, proteins, dairy, frozen foods, and snacks with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly service from July 2026 through June 2027. The code shows no recent activity tracking specialty plum purees or comparable niche fruit products; bidders should assess whether their actual product lines align with mainstream school nutrition and institutional food service demand rather than relying on the nominal code classification.
