UNSPSC 50365704: Canned or jarred dapple dandy plucot

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

UNSPSC 50365704 Canned or jarred dapple dandy plucot is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—including canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, and other processed fruit items—for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state institutions, and food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code captures a mix of institutional food service procurement: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), specifying USDA 2011 commodity standards, sweetened or unsweetened varieties, and FOB Destination delivery to Salem at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products including canned goods for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly food orders with brand-specific requirements due June 17, 2026. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health agencies, school districts (including Austin Independent School District and Rockwood R-VI and Fairfax County Public Schools), and regional purchasing cooperatives; school nutrition procurement dominates the recent activity, with districts seeking produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods alongside canned fruit products. The code also captures food service supply contracts at regional scale, such as the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri all issuing solicitations in the past two months. Texas leads with multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements for supplemental and cafeteria food products, while Georgia school systems (Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, and Hancock County) have issued numerous fresh produce and food supply RFPs and IFBs. School districts across Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Texas (Dallas ISD) are actively procuring food service items on annual contracts with renewal options, typically running July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing and FOB Destination delivery to multiple school sites. Evaluation criteria emphasize compliance with USDA standards, Buy American Act requirements, food safety certifications, and competitive pricing; many jurisdictions reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. The market shows sustained demand driven by student meal participation and institutional consumption, with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million annually (Texas HHSC) to $9 million (Douglas County food supply). Bid submission increasingly requires electronic portals (OregonBuys, Bonfire, OpenGov), with response dates concentrated in June and July 2026 for school year 2026-27 contracts commencing July 1, 2026.
