UNSPSC 50395949: Organic lone star red plum purees

The variety of organic plums known as organic lone star red plums which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395949 Organic lone star red plum purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no activity in organic red plum purees—the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity in its nominal product scope. The nine most recent opportunities span canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), generic weekly food orders (State of Illinois), food and consumable products for a state supported living center (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), fresh produce and eggs (school districts in Georgia), and various broader food service categories (Texas school districts, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state hospitals, and correctional facilities). Issuing bodies across these records include state departments of corrections and health agencies, school districts, and state purchasing offices in Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Connecticut. The geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Southwest (Texas, Georgia) with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), alongside isolated activity on the East Coast (Connecticut).

The mismatch between the code's title and actual procurement signals that buyers are either misclassifying food and beverage purchases or the code itself carries a broader working definition than its name suggests. Recent opportunities demand firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, compliance with Buy American and USDA commodity specifications, general liability insurance typically between $1 million and $2 million per occurrence, and adherence to state and federal food safety standards including HACCP plans and recall procedures. School districts—the dominant buyer type—conduct these procurements as IFBs or RFPs with annual contract periods running July through June and response windows of two to four weeks. Pricing structures vary from per-unit or per-case bases to cost-plus-fee models tied to USDA market indices. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, though some jurisdictions apply geographic or domestic-sourcing preferences and encourage M/WBE participation. Estimated annual contract values where disclosed range from $1.5 million (Texas HHSC single facility) to $9 million (Douglas County School System food supply), with some cooperative or multi-district procurements exceeding that range.
