UNSPSC 50365711: Canned or jarred flavor jewel plucot

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

UNSPSC 50365711 Canned or jarred flavor jewel plucot is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable fruit products purchased by state and local agencies for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruit products under this code primarily for nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior services, and veterans' homes. The work encompasses procurement of single-item or multi-item food service contracts where canned fruit—including applesauce, mixed fruit, and specialty fruit products—are specified either by brand name or as brand-or-equal substitutes. Issuing bodies range across state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, municipal school districts, and county senior services operations. Recent solicitations show that fruit procurement occurs both as standalone line items within larger food supply contracts and as commodity-level contracts dedicated to a single product category.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently S2910000017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026), with bids due through the OregonBuys system, estimated volumes around 1,900–4,760 cases per contract, and a historical unit price of approximately $21.84 per case; ODOC applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) in May 2026 with a March 19 response deadline covering 210 line items including fresh, frozen, and canned fruit products serving state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, with a potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IWQ 140229) in October 2026 via informal written quote with a response due October 19, 2026 and December 7 delivery requirement. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted repeated brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly solicitations through August 2026), requiring general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026 with delivery to the district's central warehouse. No federal set-asides appear in these solicitations; state and local procurement preferences (Oregon buy-local credits, Texas state procurement through the Comptroller, Georgia county procurement) drive competition.
