UNSPSC 50375700: Canned or jarred organic plucots

The type of organic fruit known as organic plucots that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375700 Canned or jarred organic plucots is a Class code that state and local governments procure as canned and jarred fruit products, though the recent opportunities show actual purchasing under this code spanning a broader range of canned and fresh fruit items, applesauces, produce, and food service commodities rather than the code's narrowly stated organic plucot category. State and local food service operations—primarily school districts, departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and state institutions—source these products through ITBs and RFPs as components of meal and nutrition programs. The issuing bodies reflect the fragmented nature of public food procurement: school districts dominate the opportunity set, with individual districts from Maine to Texas issuing annual food and produce solicitations, but state departments of corrections, state-supported living centers, state health agencies, and centralized purchasing vehicles such as cooperative buying groups and statewide food service contracts also actively solicit under related commodity codes. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear repeatedly in the recent opportunity flow, signaling sustained institutional demand for canned fruit products.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida, with school district procurement concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including produce items at HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties and berries (due June 26, 2026), and City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases IFB BNB053266 for 115 commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026). School district produce contracts regularly specify Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed goods) and firm fixed pricing through the contract term, with delivery to central warehouses or distributed school sites. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative for multiple Georgia school districts are active, with the Douglas County School System RFP 26-004 covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending near $5.5 million combined.
