UNSPSC 50365703: Canned or jarred crimson heart plucot

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

UNSPSC 50365703 Canned or jarred crimson heart plucot is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved stone fruit products, though the recent state and local opportunities record shows minimal activity specifically matched to this narrow product line. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader food procurement across state and local nutrition programs: school district food service, corrections departments, state-supported living facilities, and county senior services all purchase canned or preserved fruit as part of larger food and consumables contracts. The work being solicited is acquisition of shelf-stable produce for institutional food service, with vendors required to meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA/USDA food safety standards, and delivery logistics tied to centralized institutional distribution centers. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city boards of education, and county senior services departments. State procurement offices at the commodities level typically solicit multiple food items in a single RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB; opportunities tagged to this code may represent line items within larger food-service aggregations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with the strongest activity in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements) and Oregon (two ODOC canned applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued back-to-back ITBs for canned applesauce in May 2026 (1,904 cases, ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2) and July 2026 (4,760 cases, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31), with historical pricing around $21.84 per case and Oregon-goods preferences of 5 percent each for fabrication/processing and residency. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0016792V2, issued May 2026, due March 19 with a $4.5 million three-year ceiling) encompasses 210 line items of preserved and fresh fruits among dozens of other categories, requiring 95 percent minimum line-item response. Smaller discrete opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal quotes for 1,062 cases of food items including canned proteins and shelf-stable goods (RFQ PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posting quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple ITBs from June through August 2026). Buy American requirements and USDA compliance are near-universal; delivery FOB destination with prepaid freight and delivery within 45–72 hours of order is standard; and prevailing wage and insurance requirements appear in most state solicitations.
