UNSPSC 50565725: Non GMO ebony may plum purees

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO ebony may plums which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565725 Non GMO ebony may plum purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local purchasing of canned and shelf-stable fruit products, typically whole fruits or fruit preparations packed for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show school districts, county governments, state agencies, and correctional facilities buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed fresh and processed fruit items as components of larger nutrition and kitchen-supply contracts. The code appears to reflect generic fruit procurement rather than the narrow "ebony may plum" specification in its abstract name; the actual recent solicitations center on commodity-grade canned fruits and applesauce meeting USDA standards, sourced through competitive sealed bid and RFP processes with pricing quoted on a per-case or per-unit basis. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, city school boards, and county purchasing divisions across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states.

Recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce (responses due June 2, 2026) with a historical award price of $21.83 per case to MJ Kellner; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including canned fruits to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (responses due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million across three years); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting bids on cafeteria food products including canned and fresh fruits to multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas (responses due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties and berries (bids due June 26, 2026); and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (proposals due July 16, 2026). Contracts typically run one to two years with optional renewals, require FOB destination delivery, mandate USDA and FDA compliance, and are awarded to responsive and responsible bidders on a lowest-price or best-value basis. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear in several school district solicitations; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent state preference for locally processed goods and resident bidders.
