UNSPSC 50305708: Flavor gold plucot

The variety of plucots known as flavor gold plucot

UNSPSC 50305708 Flavor gold plucot, a Commodity code, names a single specialty fruit product that state and local governments procure as a component of broader fresh produce supply contracts. In practice, the code sees activity embedded within multi-item fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations issued by correctional facilities, school districts, senior services, mental health facilities, and food service operations. Recent solicitations do not isolate plucots as standalone line items; instead, they aggregate stone fruits and specialty produce under comprehensive fresh-produce family contracts where unit pricing, seasonal availability, and farm-of-origin documentation are negotiated across dozens of produce categories. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school districts conduct the most visible procurement activity under this code's nominal scope, though the actual product mix varies by facility dietary needs and seasonal sourcing.

State and local government buying under this code concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia through corrections and education. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple fresh fruit and vegetable RFQs in September and October 2026—solicitation IW267411 for vegetables to Wynne Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026), IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026), and IW267376 for Palestine facility (due October 19, 2026)—with no disclosed contract values or specific produce line items in publicly available documents. The Illinois Department of Corrections' Joliet Treatment Center (solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) specified 13 produce items with bi-weekly delivery and small-business set-aside designation; Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center (27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026) solicited approximately 39 fresh-produce line items weekly under small purchase procurement through fiscal year 2027. School districts across Georgia—Hancock County (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Dougherty County (bids due June 16, 2026), Early County (bids due June 8, 2026), and Bryan County (bids due May 27, 2026)—posted sealed-bid or RFP procurements for fresh produce spanning 40–200+ line items per school year, each emphasizing Buy American sourcing and domestic commodity compliance. Specialty-fruit vendors pursuing this code should expect commodity-level competition within large multi-vendor lots rather than single-product awards.
