UNSPSC 50365702: Canned or jarred blue gusto plucot

The variety of plucots known as blue gusto plucot that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365702 Canned or jarred blue gusto plucot is a Commodity code that actually covers preserved fruit products — predominantly canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and similar shelf-stable fruit items — as state and local governments procure them for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility meals. The code sees steady activity from state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and specialized institutional food service buyers. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Schools) represent the primary issuing bodies across recent opportunities. Work solicited ranges from canned applesauce for correctional facilities (Oregon DOC ITB S-29100-00017453, bids due July 31, 2026, 4,760 cases at historical price $21.84 per case) to dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service (Austin ISD RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026) to multi-item food supply contracts that include canned and preserved fruit among dozens of line items. Preserved fruit procurement is embedded within larger institutional food-service buys rather than standing alone.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with substantial recent volume in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Schools), Texas (HHSC, Dallas ISD, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), plus activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state corrections and state health and human services. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, fresh produce including apples for 2026-27 school year), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending, due March 4, 2026), and Texas HHSC/DSHS IFB HHS0016792 (supplemental food and consumables including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, $4,500,000 maximum potential value, bid response deadline extended to February 23, 2026). Buy American Act compliance and USDA commodity specification adherence appear in nearly every school district and state agency solicitation; firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract periods is standard, with occasional midterm adjustment provisions tied to manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater.
