UNSPSC 50395801: Organic black kat plucot purees

The variety of organic plucots known as organic black kat plucot which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395801 Organic black kat plucot purees, a Commodity code, spans the processed fruit product supply chain that state and local governments use for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and senior nutrition initiatives. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are actually procuring a much broader range of canned and processed fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities—rather than the narrow scope the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education, school districts, and county purchasing offices. The work being solicited ranges from single-item contracts (canned applesauce to detention facilities) to large multi-line food service procurement spanning 100+ product categories for nutrition centers, state-supported living centers, and prison cafeterias. Vendors typically respond to IFB, RFP, or informal quotation notices and must meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA compliance, Buy American provisions where applicable, delivery timelines often within 45 to 72 hours of order, and insurance requirements (commonly $1 million general commercial liability minimum).
