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

UNSPSC 50375705 Canned or jarred organic dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a narrower scope than its nominal title suggests: state and local governments buying under this code are primarily procuring canned fruit products—applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits—for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (including independent school districts in Texas and county boards of education in Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Georgia state agencies), and specialized state facilities such as supported living centers and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show school nutrition services driving consistent, repetitive demand across the K–12 sector, with individual school districts and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles issuing RFPs and IFBs for food service supply that routinely include canned and preserved fruit lines alongside fresh produce, proteins, and staple groceries.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary clusters in Oregon and the Upper Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) soliciting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, delivered FOB destination to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026, amended due date February 23, 2026) for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables, including preserved fruits, serving 23 qualified ordering entities across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K–12 term contract requiring bidders to supply minimum 76 items to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Canned applesauce and preserved fruit procurement under this code typically requires USDA 2011 commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing quoted per case or unit, FOB destination delivery with fuel surcharges prepaid, and maintenance of $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability insurance; Oregon and Texas applicants face state-level purchase preferences (5% Oregon goods and residency preferences in Oregon; no HUB subcontracting requirement in Texas but HUB participation encouraged), while school districts nationwide apply Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic content in processed fruit products.
