UNSPSC 50305717: Flavorich plucot

The variety of plucots known as flavorich plucot

UNSPSC 50305717 Flavorich plucot is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce — primarily fruits and vegetables — for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, mental health facilities, and child care programs. Recent solicitations show procurement bodies sourcing individual produce items (petite bananas, fresh-cut fruit and vegetable snacks, apples, berries, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, leafy greens, and similar commodities) either as standalone line items within broader grocery or food-service contracts or as dedicated single-commodity purchases. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county boards of education, municipal school districts, county governments, Head Start agencies, and health care coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Madison Metropolitan School District, and various Georgia school districts appear repeatedly across recent solicitations, reflecting sustained institutional demand for fresh-produce supply contracts.
