UNSPSC 50386354: October sun plum purees

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

UNSPSC 50386354 October sun plum purees is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under the opportunities present in the source material. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, supplemental food and consumable products for institutional food service, fresh produce including fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, and various grocery and food service items for correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported living centers. The code's nominal scope—plum purees specifically—bears no relationship to the scope of work in the representative recent opportunities, which span broadly across fruit products, prepared foods, fresh produce, and institutional food sourcing.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county boards of education (Hancock County, Muscogee County). Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school districts and state institutional food service as the dominant buyer categories. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumable products statewide (210 line items, maximum potential value $4,500,000 over three years), Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services for 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools (estimated annual expenditure $9,000,000), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (establishment of grocery product supply and delivery for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, response due April 27, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual solicitations suggests the code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems or the underlying taxonomy does not align with institutional food sourcing workflows.
