UNSPSC 50305710: Flavor heart plucot

The variety of plucots known as flavor heart plucot

UNSPSC 50305710 Flavor heart plucot is a Commodity code that represents a specialized fresh fruit item, yet the recent state and local procurement activity shows virtually no direct solicitation for this specific product. The source records 25 opportunities spanning school nutrition programs, child care food services, senior services produce distribution, and correctional facility food service across multiple states from January through July 2026, but none explicitly names plucots or flavor heart varieties as a line item or contract focus. The single opportunity that mentions a specific fruit variety by brand—Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162)—demonstrates that state and local food service procurement does sometimes solicit branded or varietal produce, yet the overwhelming majority of solicitations cast wider nets, requesting general fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables) or comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts where individual fruit varieties are bundled into broader commodity groupings rather than isolated as standalone items.

State and local food service procurement under this code's nominal scope appears to originate primarily from school districts, child care and Head Start programs, and correctional and senior services divisions within city and county governments. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Early County, and the statewide GEC Buying Cooperative), with secondary clusters in Texas (City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Mississippi (DeSoto County), Oregon (Central Point School District), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (response due August 4, 2026) seeking five categories of food and nonfood items including fruits and vegetables for 400 children daily; the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 issued through Douglas County School System (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated combined annual spending of approximately $5.5 million; and Bulloch County School District's Invitation for Proposal for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026) as part of its Farm to School program. The lack of targeted solicitation for plucots specifically suggests this variety either does not feature in institutional food service procurement or is sourced through general fresh produce contracts rather than as a discrete commodity line, making pursuit viability limited without direct engagement with procurement offices to confirm demand.
