UNSPSC 50315717: Organic flavorich plucot

The variety of organic plucots known as organic flavorich plucot

UNSPSC 50315717 Organic flavorich plucot, Commodity, names a specific fruit item that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through school nutrition programs; however, recent opportunities show the code misclassified — no recent solicitations actually buy organic flavorich plucot or anything resembling it. The code spans petite bananas, fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes), prepared fresh items (pre-cut vegetables, fruit cups), and specialty fruits (grapes, melons, citrus, stone fruits) across school breakfast and lunch programs. School districts and school systems dominate the issuing body mix; county boards of education, independent school districts, and district systems post the majority of opportunities in this category. These jurisdictions buy produce in volume — typically 50 to 21,000+ cases annually per item depending on student population — and standardize procurement around the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, including USDA compliance, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content), and weekly or bi-weekly delivery to multiple school sites.

Procurement concentration sits heaviest in Georgia, with Hancock County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Bartow County, Douglas County (through the GEC Buying Cooperative), and Early County all posting opportunities between February and July 2026. Texas districts (Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) also show recent activity. Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) posted two parallel opportunities in July 2026 — RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal grant funding). Representative Georgia opportunities include Glynn County's IFB 27-02 (60 produce line items, due April 14, 2026), Douglas County's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (72 line items, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026), and Liberty County's parallel IFBs for produce and food products (both due April 29, 2026). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options; evaluation typically weights cost heavily (30–50 points), followed by vendor qualifications, product quality, compliance documentation, and references. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations reviewed.
