UNSPSC 50365710: Canned or jarred flavor heart plucot

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

UNSPSC 50365710 Canned or jarred flavor heart plucot is a Commodity code that sees little direct recent activity under its specific nominal scope; state and local governments rarely solicit canned plucot by this precise designation. However, the code sits within a broader food procurement ecosystem where school districts, state corrections and human services agencies, county departments, and public health institutions routinely purchase shelf-stable fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, canned vegetables, and related commodities—through the state and local procurement channels. The recent opportunities tagged to this code or closely related food-supply solicitations reveal that issuing bodies treat fruit commodities and processed food items as part of consolidated food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. When fruit products do appear, they are bundled within larger nutrition, cafeteria, or supplemental food procurements serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services departments. Award decisions typically rest on lowest-price-per-unit calculation, responsiveness to detailed packaging and USDA-grade specifications, delivery timeline compliance, and demonstrated vendor performance history rather than on brand loyalty or technical differentiation.

The most active recent procurement footprint spans Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904–4,760 cases per bid, response deadlines May 2026 and July 2026, with Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10% combined), setting a reference price of $21.82–$21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (210 line items statewide, March 2026 IFB, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million annually, June 2026 IFB). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (October 2026, three-day response window). Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (July 2026 RFP). The City of Bridgeport Board of Education issued a commodities bid encompassing 115 line items with Buy American compliance required and MBE/CBE applicability (June 2026, Net 45 payment terms, through June 2027). None of these opportunities names canned plucot explicitly; the code's fit to current buying patterns is tangential at best, suggesting that vendors should monitor broader food-service aggregates and cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than expect direct solicitations against this specific commodity code.
