UNSPSC 50386376: St catherine plum purees

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

UNSPSC 50386376 St. catherine plum purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and shelf-stable fruit products — including applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits — for institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The code captures commodity-level food procurement driven by regulatory compliance with USDA specifications, FDA standards, and nutritional requirements; recent opportunities show governments buying standardized canned fruit products in bulk (thousands of cases per order) with firm fixed pricing, minimum shelf-life requirements, and FOB destination delivery terms. State departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and school districts form the primary issuing bodies, alongside some independent school districts and county boards of education. The mix reflects both secure institutional settings (prisons, state facilities) and child nutrition operations, each with distinct compliance frameworks but similar commodity-supply mechanics.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, with scattered activity across Connecticut and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response date) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with 5% Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquarters preferences; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 response date) for food and consumables including preserved fruits for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with estimated historical value of $1.5 million; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly food-order solicitation (June 17, 2026 response date) requiring brand-specific preserved-fruit items. The code shows consistent volume through school-year contracts (July through June cycles) and ongoing institutional supply arrangements, with pricing historically anchored to per-unit or per-case costs and awards made on lowest-responsive-bidder or best-value bases. No incumbent vendors are prominently named across these recent opportunities, indicating open competitive procurement environments across most issuing bodies.
