UNSPSC 50395800: Organic plucot purees

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

UNSPSC 50395800 Organic plucot purees is a Class code that, despite its narrow name, sits within a broader food-procurement framework where state and local governments are actually buying shelf-stable and fresh food products for nutrition programs, correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show active procurement of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (including berries and citrus), and mixed food commodities—items functionally similar to or adjacent to purees and processed fruit, even if "organic plucot purees" specifically does not appear in the records. Issuing bodies span county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin ISD, Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Texas Department of Criminal Justice), senior services departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Illinois appears as a repeat buyer with multiple quarterly food-service solicitations for the Veterans Home at Quincy.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, delivered to Salem, historical price $21.84 per case, bids due July 31, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple varieties, delivery to three school sites, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, bids due June 26, 2026; Gwinnett County's informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, delivery required by December 7, 2026, quotes due October 19, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, 210 line items, approximately $4.5 million potential value over three years, bids due March 19, 2026. Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products) and state workforce verification requirements appear in multiple solicitations. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, and awards frequently split by line item or go to single vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bids or best value.
