UNSPSC 50395900: Organic plum purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic plums which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395900 Organic plum purees is a Class code that spans fresh and processed fruit products state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code is being used for a broader range of shelf-stable and processed fruit items rather than organic plum purees specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under or near this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county purchasing offices. The scope of work encompasses canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including apples and berries, and general commodity food products for cafeterias, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers—typically procured through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), and requests for proposals (RFP) with delivery to central warehouses or facility-based distribution points.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with notable solicitations from Oregon Department of Corrections (two canned applesauce ITBs in July and May 2026, each for approximately 1,904–4,760 cases with historical pricing around $21.83 per case and Oregon goods preferences applied), Georgia and Georgia county boards (Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, and Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for SY27 delivery through June 2027), and Texas state agencies (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB in June 2026 with $1.5 million historical value and Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB in May 2026 covering 382 line items across five warehouse locations). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted multiple quarterly food order solicitations (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) in June and August 2026. Connecticut and Texas municipal school nutrition programs also solicited during the same period. Most solicitations are firm fixed-price with FOB Destination delivery, Buy American provisions where applicable under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, and contract terms running one year with optional renewals.
