UNSPSC 50375701: Canned or jarred organic black kat plucot

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

UNSPSC 50375701 Canned or jarred organic black kat plucot is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service—principally school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The recent opportunities show consistent demand for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader commodity food bundles rather than the specific organic black kat plucot named in the code itself. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this family include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, city boards of education, and state veterans homes. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear repeatedly as active buyers, along with multiple school districts and state facilities across Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and elsewhere.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Illinois, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Northeast (Connecticut), with school districts and correctional facilities as primary end-users. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at the Salem distribution center with a historical price of $21.84 per case (bids due July 31, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a three-year contract maximum value of $4,500,000 (bids due March 19, 2026). A school district procurement—Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026)—shows demand for processed fruit products in education settings. Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with preference programs in Oregon (combined 10% for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors) and school lunch Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content) applied where applicable.
