UNSPSC 50315700: Organic plucots

The type of organic fruit known as organic plucots

UNSPSC 50315700 Organic plucots (Class) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally refers to a specific produce item—organic plucots, a hybrid fruit cross between plums and apricots—yet the recent opportunities block shows zero solicitations for organic plucots specifically. Instead, school districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin are actively soliciting fresh produce supply contracts that encompass broad assortments of apples, bananas, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, melons, and leafy greens; eggs; and beverages. These are institutional food service procurements, primarily driven by school nutrition programs supplying the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to elementary through high school students. The issuing bodies are independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Early County Schools and Bartow County in Georgia; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Austin Independent School District in Texas; Salt Lake City School District in Utah; and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), many soliciting annual contracts of $1 million or more in estimated value with weekly or bi-weekly delivery requirements and strict food safety and nutritional compliance standards.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, Bartow County, and Douglas County School System coordinating across 30 districts) with additional activity in Texas (McAllen, Austin), Florida (Hillsborough County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Utah (Salt Lake City), and scattered individual district RFPs and IFBs. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for Petite Bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, response due July 29, 2026); Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across two regions, responses due March 4, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce to 16 school locations (sealed bids due April 14, 2026); and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to 18 elementary schools ($600,000 estimated annual budget, responses due March 11, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with organic plucots procurement.
