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, a Commodity code, shows significant activity in state and local food service procurement, though the recent opportunities block reveals a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited. The opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect ebony may plum purees or comparable specialty fruit purees; instead, they span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food service supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and other public institutions. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement—including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, and county boards of education—are using this code to tag general food commodity and produce solicitations. The work solicited ranges from large-scale institutional food distribution (the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables contract covering 210 line items across 23 qualified ordering entities statewide, with an estimated three-year value of $4.5 million) down to regional school nutrition contracts for fresh produce, grocery items, and specialty foods.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with notable repeat buyers including school nutrition programs in Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas). Representative current opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, seeking 4,760 cases with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services covering approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million, due February 18, 2026. The code shows robust state and local procurement activity in food service broadly, but the category assignment appears misaligned with the specific fruit puree product it nominally describes, suggesting either tagging error or a code that has become a catch-all for institutional food procurement beyond its original scope.
