UNSPSC 50386372: Roysum plum purees

The variety of plums known as roysum plums which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386372 Roysum plum purees is a Commodity code that captures highly specific prepared-fruit products state and local governments procure for institutional food service. Recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are actually purchasing a broader range of shelf-stable and refrigerated fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food commodities—rather than plum purees specifically. The code appears to sit within a larger institutional food-service procurement landscape that encompasses school districts, corrections departments, social-services agencies, and health systems. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), municipal boards of education (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state supported living centers. Most recent solicitations are structured as informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), or requests for proposals (RFP), with response windows typically 5 to 30 days and firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, FOB Destination delivery terms, and compliance with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions where school nutrition is involved.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with the largest single procurement value evident in Texas Health and Human Services Commission's $4.5 million maximum potential value over three years for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792v2, bid due March 19, 2026). Other representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026) at a historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's commodities solicitation for 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit products (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). The code shows no clear concentration on plum purees alone; activity is distributed across multiple fruit and produce categories. Bidders must meet USDA standards, maintain general commercial liability insurance between $500,000 and $2 million depending on issuer, secure E-Verify authorization where required, and comply with Buy American provisions in school and corrections contexts. Award methodology typically favors lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value based on price, compliance, and vendor performance history.
