UNSPSC 50365720: Canned or jarred red kat plucot

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

UNSPSC 50365720 Canned or jarred red kat plucot, a Commodity code, captures canned and jarred fruit products that state and local government food service operations procure for institutional meal programs—though recent activity under this code shows significant divergence from the nominal commodity name. State and local buyers are actually purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food-service staples for correctional facilities, schools, health and human services institutions, and transit operations. The issuing-body mix spans state corrections departments, independent school districts, county school systems, municipal boards of education, state health and human services commissions, and special-purpose educational cooperatives. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and large urban school districts including Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System appear repeatedly across the recent opportunities. Geographic spread is nationwide with heavy recent concentration in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with additional activity in Illinois and across the Southeast.

Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026), featuring Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered-vendor preferences totaling 10 percent and a historical award price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (due July 16, 2026); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with historical contract value of $1.5 million over twelve months and renewal options through August 31, 2028. Broader food procurement activity—encompassing fresh produce, eggs, staple groceries, and prepared foods—dominates the recent-opportunities block, indicating that the code captures institutional food sourcing well beyond the specific commodity name. Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear consistently across school district and state procurement, with many requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Contracts are typically annual or multi-year with firm fixed pricing for the initial term and limited midterm adjustment provisions tied to manufacturer price changes or indexing formulas.
