UNSPSC 50305718: Flavorosa plucot

The variety of plucots known as flavorosa plucot

UNSPSC 50305718 Flavorosa plucot (Commodity) represents a narrow single-product category that state and local governments rarely procure in isolation. Recent opportunities show that the code appears in state and local procurement databases but does not reflect actual buying patterns — the recent solicitations tagged with this code universally cover broad fresh produce categories (mixed fruits and vegetables, comprehensive food supply), not the specific specialty fruit implied by the UNSPSC name. School districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services programs, and child nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies, sourcing produce through competitive bid and RFP processes with mixed issuing cadences.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation IFB267376 for Palestine (due October 19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce quote request RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside), the Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas RFB 4162 with estimated annual value of $78,000 (due July 29, 2026), and the Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP 10-2026-019 for 2026–2027 (proposals due June 22, 2026, local-vendor preference for farms within 400 miles). The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurement activity it tags; vendors pursuing contracts under this classification should monitor school nutrition, correctional food service, and senior meal programs in the Southeast and Texas for actionable opportunities in broad fresh produce supply, not specialty-fruit contracts.
