UNSPSC 50386200: Plucot purees

The type of fruit known as plucots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386200 Plucot purees is a Class code that covers canned and shelf-stable fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, and social services departments. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and supplemental food and consumable products for cafeteria and institutional meal programs rather than plucot purees specifically. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and county governments, city nutrition centers, and independent school districts. Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut show the most recent posting activity; the geographic spread extends across state prison systems, state veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, and school districts nationwide.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope and issuing-body mix. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce due June 2, 2026, with a 5 percent Oregon preference available; the historical award to MJ Kellner was $21.827 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 response deadline. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations and the Buy American requirement for 51 percent domestic content in processed products. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, issued a bid for 115 line items of commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance, due June 26, 2026. The code shows consistent activity across food service procurement but limited direct evidence of plucot-puree-specific solicitations in the recent window.
