UNSPSC 50305714: Flavor supreme plucot

The variety of plucots known as flavor supreme plucot

UNSPSC 50305714 Flavor supreme plucot is a Commodity code covering fresh produce distribution and delivery to state and local institutional food-service operations. State and local governments procure fresh fruit and vegetable supply under this code to support correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, child nutrition programs, and regional parks. Recent solicitations show demand for both bulk fresh-produce supply contracts (often bi-weekly or weekly delivery schedules to centralized distribution points) and ready-to-eat produce offerings (processed, cleaned, and pre-packaged for direct consumption by program participants). Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and human services, county boards of education, city departments of human services, independent school districts, and special-purpose nutrition coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFQs in the past month alone, indicating sustained procurement activity at the state agency level; school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Illinois, and Connecticut dominate the recent-opportunity mix, reflecting the National School Lunch Program and federal child nutrition funding as primary demand drivers. County governments and city departments appear less frequently but pursue specialized offerings such as organic or locally-sourced produce with geographic-preference scoring and small-business set-asides.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in the Southeast and South (Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Illinois, and Connecticut have posted opportunities in the past six months), with notable school-district procurement in Wisconsin and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetables to the Palestine facility (solicitation IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference and three-year contract term including two one-year renewals). Madison Metropolitan School District issued an RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value) and a competing RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with Wisconsin-sourced produce and a 5% diverse-business preference). School districts consistently require HACCP plans, prevailing-wage compliance where applicable, and Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content), while correctional and mental-health facilities prioritize volume, consistency, and cost containment on fixed procurement schedules.
