UNSPSC 50365712: Canned or jarred flavor king plucot

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

UNSPSC 50365712 Canned or jarred flavor king plucot (Commodity) represents a highly specialized food category that sees limited direct procurement activity under this exact code; the recent state and local opportunities submitted under this taxonomy reflect a broader pattern of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and human services agencies rather than flavor king plucot specifically. State and local governments acquire canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, and related shelf-stable food items as components of institutional food service — primarily for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and senior services — with purchasing bodies including school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas HHSC), counties (Gwinnett County), and municipal governments. The recent opportunities show substitution-friendly procurement patterns: vendors routinely bid brand-specific or brand-or-equal, with buyer acceptance of equivalent products meeting functional and quality parity. Pricing is typically evaluated per unit, case, or ounce, and delivery is FOB Destination with transportation included in quoted rates.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026, both due within 45 days), with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, due October 19, 2026 via IWQ 140229. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (RFP 27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751, August 2026). Texas HHSC issued a $4.5 million three-year supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, March 2026 deadline) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers. No solicitations in the recent dataset name flavor king plucot, canned plucot, or jarred plucot by name, indicating the code captures activity primarily through aggregated food service contracts that bundle multiple canned fruit and shelf-stable items rather than single-commodity procurements.
