UNSPSC 50375716: Canned or jarred organic flavorella plucot

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

UNSPSC 50375716 Canned or jarred organic flavorella plucot is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and refrigerated food products procured for institutional food service — including canned fruit, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and consumables — rather than the narrow scope the code name suggests. State and local governments purchase these products primarily through school districts, county boards of education, state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans services), and municipal nutrition centers to supply cafeterias, food pantries, senior services, and detention facilities. Issuing bodies range from single-site school nutrition programs to statewide consolidated food-service contracts serving hundreds of locations, with both smaller informal quotes for specific institutional needs and larger formal IFBs and RFPs covering diverse product lines. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed items) appear frequently across school and state procurements, and some jurisdictions apply regional or local vendor preferences.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) with a 72-hour delivery window and October 19 response deadline; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 RFP for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September–December FY-27 under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications with August 24 response deadlines; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications and ODOC's 5 percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident preferences, with bids due July 31; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other HHSC facilities, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to its central warehouse. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year in June 2026 under IFB with over 200 line items and June 26 response deadline. Bridgeport, Connecticut and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice both conducted broad commodity food procurement in May–June 2026, with Bridgeport's Board of Education Nutrition Center RFP covering 115 line items and Texas TDCJ's IFB spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas.
