UNSPSC 50305720: Red kat plucot

The variety of plucots known as red kat plucot

UNSPSC 50305720 Red kat plucot (Commodity) represents fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments, specifically specialty fruit and premium fruit varieties sourced for school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and senior services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span school district meal services, CACFP-funded child care nutrition programs, and municipal senior center produce distribution, with vendors expected to supply premium or specialty produce items meeting strict quality, freshness, and nutritional compliance standards alongside commodity-grade fruit staples.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and numerous Georgia school nutrition programs under both individual district solicitations and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. Child care and senior services providers also solicit under the code—the City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program supplies including fresh fruits (due August 4, 2026), and the City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services sought produce market operations at senior centers. Georgia school districts account for the largest concentration of recent activity, with at least fifteen district-level or regional cooperative solicitations posted since late February 2026. Texas and Florida also show significant activity through independent school districts and municipal child nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (150-count cases, ripeness stages 3.5–4.5 per Chiquita standards, weekly usage 70–90 cases, $78,000 annual contract value, bids due July 29, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary schools at a cost-plus fixed-fee structure with an estimated $600,000 annual budget funded entirely by USDA grant awards (proposals due March 11, 2026, award date August 4, 2026). Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and produce freshness guarantees appear across all recent solicitations; local-vendor preferences and diverse-owned business scoring are common in Texas and Georgia procurements.
