UNSPSC 50386351: Marked black plum purees

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

UNSPSC 50386351 Marked black plum purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct relevance to state and local government buying activity. The recent opportunities record reveals no procurement actions specifically for marked black plum purees or closely related canned plum products. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code include canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), fresh produce and eggs across multiple school districts, and mixed food and consumable products for state facilities and school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal product (black plum purees) and the actual solicitations across the record suggests either tagging inconsistency or that plum purees represent a negligible line item within broader food service portfolios.

State and local food service procurement—particularly school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities—is highly active and geographically dispersed. Representative recent solicitations span Oregon (ODOC's canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), Texas (HHSC food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026; TDCJ cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026), Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh produce under IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education food products under IFB, due April 29, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities under IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items and NOI products, due April 29, 2026), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 under IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Buying bodies include state departments (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, TDCJ, DSHS), county and city school districts of varying sizes (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Rockwood, Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Muscogee County, Douglas County), municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport), and special purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Issuing bodies consistently require Buy American compliance, USDA food commodity standards, firm-fixed or limited-adjustment pricing, commercial liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on jurisdiction), and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses on weekly or as-needed schedules. No recent solicitations specifically target black plum purees at the commodity level, limiting direct pursuit relevance under this code.
