UNSPSC 50375713: Canned or jarred organic flavor queen plucot

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

UNSPSC 50375713 Canned or jarred organic flavor queen plucot is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and canned fruit products for institutional food service. Recent solicitations under this code show purchasing activity centered on canned and preserved fruit items—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps—sourced by corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. The range of issuing bodies reflects the breadth of institutional food service across state corrections systems, state veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, county senior services, school districts, and municipal education boards. Scope varies from single-category procurements (applesauce or dried fruit bars alone) to broad food-commodity bundles in which canned fruit appears alongside proteins, vegetables, and staple items. Pricing is uniformly firm-fixed per unit or case, with delivery on FOB destination terms and all transportation charges prepaid by the contractor. Vendors typically must maintain general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, comply with USDA commodity standards where applicable, provide recall accessibility and HACCP documentation for school meals, and hold three vendor references for similar work.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (1,904 cases in May 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026, both with 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences), with historical pricing near $21.83 per case. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products including fruit items across five geographic warehouse distribution zones (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026). The State of Illinois issued two brand-specific and one brand-or-equal solicitation for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide, including fruit items, for state hospitals and supported living centers with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million (March 2026). Institutional buyers also include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food including canned items (October 2026, IWQ 140229); Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, July 2026, RFP 27RFP004); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia, fresh and processed produce, June 2026, IFB SN002-2027); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (115 line items including fruit products, June 2026, BNB053266); and the State of Georgia (food supplies, May 2026, PE55645NONST2026000000009). Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear in school district and municipal education procurement. No single vendor dominates; awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria with price competitiveness weighted alongside vendor performance history and delivery compliance.
