UNSPSC 50305716: Flavorella plucot

The variety of plucots known as flavorella plucot

UNSPSC 50305716 Flavorella plucot, a Commodity code, covers fresh fruit supplies to state and local institutions — correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services programs, and child care organizations. State and local governments buy this produce for meal programs serving inmates, patients, students, seniors, and children, with deliveries typically bi-weekly or weekly in case quantities. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, county boards of education, city senior services divisions, and nonprofit Head Start agencies. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations under this code for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to correctional food warehouses; Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health have solicited for facility dining; school nutrition programs across Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi dominate the recent activity. Requests emphasize compliance with USDA nutrition standards, CACFP or National School Lunch Program regulations, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, and adherence to temperature and freshness specifications, with deliveries to central warehouses or individual school sites.

Recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with the highest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative opportunities include Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetables to its Snyder Food Warehouse and Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267420 and IW267411, both due October 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and processed to ready-to-eat form (due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly); Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce to three school locations (due June 26, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB for grocery products including frozen and fresh produce totaling approximately 32,409 cases, with estimated value $969,460.94 and a pre-bid conference on April 16, 2026. School districts routinely apply local-vendor or geographic-preference scoring; some require documentation of farm of origin and traceability. Insurance minimums typically range from $500,000 to $1 million general liability, and prevailing wage or affirmative action compliance is common across Illinois and Connecticut solicitations.
