UNSPSC 50386362: Quetsch plum purees

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

UNSPSC 50386362 Quetsch plum purees, a Commodity code, covers preserved plum products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service—though recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal and does not center on plum purees specifically. The opportunities posted show state and local food-service buyers acquiring a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for corrections facilities, schools, senior services, veterans' homes, and state health agencies. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, county school districts, city nutrition centers, and specialized state facilities; Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut dominate recent activity. Food service procurement under related commodity codes involves competitive bidding on firm fixed pricing, delivery to central distribution points or multiple sites, compliance with USDA grades and FDA standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and evaluation on lowest responsive bidder or best value. Contracts typically run annual periods with optional renewals and cover hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, frozen specialty items, and dry goods.

No state or local solicitations specifically for quetsch plum purees appear in the recent posting record. The single opportunity most closely aligned with fruit preservation is the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB (posted May 18 and July 10, 2026, with responses due June 2 and July 31), which required USDA commodity compliance and delivery to Salem in bulk truckload quantities at historical pricing of $21.83 per case. Broader food commodities procurements—including the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB (posted May 19, $4.5 million potential value over three years with a March 19, 2026 response deadline), the Texas TDCJ cafeteria products IFB extended to May 4, 2026, and the Bridgeport Board of Education commodities bid (due June 26, 2026)—show sustained institutional demand for canned and preserved items but no explicit line items for plum purees in the available documentation. This code signals low current procurement velocity for the specific product; activity tracking should focus on broader canned fruit and preserved goods solicitations in corrections, school nutrition, and state health service categories.
