UNSPSC 50375704: Canned or jarred organic dapple dandy plucot

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

UNSPSC 50375704 Canned or jarred organic dapple dandy plucot is a Commodity code that in practice captures a much broader range of canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits—procured by state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and other institutions. The recent solicitations show state and local governments buying canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and supplemental food items for institutional food service operations. These are demand-driven, high-volume, repetitive procurements with firm-fixed pricing, delivery to central distribution points or school sites, and contract terms typically running one to two years with renewal options. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county school boards, independent school districts, and regional buying cooperatives; school nutrition programs are the dominant buyer segment, with purchases anchored to student meal participation and USDA commodity requirements. Vendors must maintain general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, comply with Buy American and USDA food safety standards, meet specific nutritional and ingredient restrictions (particularly in school food procurement), and deliver on tight logistics schedules with no fuel surcharges or partial deliveries permitted.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South—Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois—with the greatest density in Georgia school districts and Texas health and human services facilities. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services for 32 schools serving 25,500 students (due February 18, 2026), with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid 26-34 for 72 produce items across 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026). Cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative are expanding reach across multiple districts, with the Douglas County RFP SN 26-004 pooling 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. Activity remains steady and ongoing; school year contracts typically begin July 1 and run through June 30 with summer advance procurement windows.
