UNSPSC 50386362: Quetsch plum purees

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

UNSPSC 50386362 Quetsch plum purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its specific product scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations actually procuring quetsch plum purees or related specialty plum products. Instead, the posted opportunities span broad food supply categories — canned and fresh fruit, applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, grocery items, and general food service supplies across multiple issuing bodies including state departments of corrections and health services, county school systems, and independent school districts. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being actively solicited suggests limited or infrequent demand for this particular commodity under state and local procurement channels, or that jurisdictions tag broader produce and fruit categories without granular distinction to specialty items like quetsch plum purees.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, with school districts and state agencies representing the primary buyers. School nutrition programs in particular drive the majority of visible procurement — Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Schools, and Douglas County School System have all posted food service contracts in the past four months. State institutional facilities including corrections departments, health services commissions, and supported living centers round out the issuing-body mix. The only opportunity with direct applesauce content — a close analog to the code's plum puree focus — is the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 posted July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31, 2026 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, subject to 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-bidder preferences. Absent evidence of active demand specifically for quetsch plum purees under this code, pursuit should focus on firms positioned to supply broader canned and fresh fruit categories to institutional food service buyers, where the volume and frequency of state and local procurement is concentrated.
