UNSPSC 50365707: Canned or jarred flavor fall plucot

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

UNSPSC 50365707 Canned or jarred flavor fall plucot is a Commodity code that in practice covers canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits—procured by state and local food service operations including corrections departments, school districts, state health facilities, and educational institutions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying bulk quantities of canned fruit products delivered to central warehouses and distribution centers to support inmate feeding programs, school nutrition services, and institutional food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission represent the dominant recent buyers under this code, with school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and others) soliciting broader grocery bundles that include preserved fruit items alongside fresh produce and other food staples. Institutional buyers typically require USDA compliance, FDA standards, minimum shelf life of one year or longer, firm fixed pricing quoted per case or unit, FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, and commercial liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range. Oregon and Texas show the heaviest recent activity, with secondary concentration in Georgia school districts.

Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026) at a historical price of $21.84 per case with 5 percent preferences for Oregon goods and bidders, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruit for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026) with an estimated prior annual value of $1.5 million and procurement through multiple pathways including sealed bids and the HHS Online Bid Room. School districts dominate the long tail of activity—Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Liberty County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham (Georgia), Fairfax County (Virginia), and Dallas ISD (Texas) all solicited food bundles spanning preserved fruits, fresh produce, and proteins under IFB and RFP methods in the March–May 2026 window. Pricing is consistently firm-fixed for contract periods ranging from one to three years, with Oregon applying local-vendor preferences and Texas institutions requiring quarterly reporting by line item and facility. No set-asides or HUB requirements appear consistently across opportunities, though Texas encourages HUB subcontracting plans on a voluntary basis.
