UNSPSC 50325700: Dried plucots

The type of fruit known as plucots that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325700 Dried plucots (Class) represents a narrow commodity with minimal state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name does not align with what state and local buyers are actually purchasing under this classification — recent opportunities tagged to the code show no solicitations explicitly for dried plucots, instead showing diversified food service procurement spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, proteins, and institutional meal service. The code itself sits within a dried fruit and nut taxonomy but appears to see little direct, targeted demand from state or local educational, correctional, or nutritional programs at present.

Recent state and local activity tagged to this code derives primarily from school districts, county boards of education, and correctional facilities across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and California. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce via IFB due June 26, 2026 for school nutrition services; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing Bid No. IW236532 in February 2026 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60-70 count, 1,400 box minimum for one delivery area); and the County of Santa Clara (California) issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend, walnuts, and pecans to supply detention facility food services. The targging of these opportunities to the plucot code appears incidental rather than intentional — the actual solicited products (fresh produce for school nutrition, generic dried fruits, dried prunes, and mixed nuts) do not represent dried plucots as a distinct line item. Activity is episodic and driven by annual institutional food service contracting cycles rather than sustained market demand for this specific commodity.
