UNSPSC 50325701: Dried black kat plucot

The variety of plucots known as black kat plucot that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325701 Dried black kat plucot is a Commodity code for a niche dried fruit item that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried black kat plucots; instead, the code has been applied to broader food service procurements—school nutrition programs, correctional facility food supply, and general cafeteria operations—that include dried fruits and nuts among dozens or hundreds of line items but do not isolate this specific product. The solicitations documented under this code span school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Georgia Department of Education), county correction facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction), and state criminal justice procurement (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Most activity centers on school nutrition programs seeking annual fresh and frozen produce, dairy, protein, and staple items for K-12 lunch and breakfast service.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and the Carolinas, with secondary presence in California, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 term contract via IFB 2000004323 with an April 27, 2026 deadline; and County of Santa Clara (California) issuing an ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans with a February 5, 2026 due date. School districts dominate the buyer mix, with most procurements structured as annual fixed-price contracts running July 1 through June 30, renewable for one to four additional years, and buying in bulk case quantities for distribution to multiple school sites. Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed products) appear in most school nutrition RFPs and IFBs. No recent solicitation specifically names dried black kat plucots as a required line item; the commodity code assignment appears to reflect mis-tagging in the source system rather than genuine demand for this product in the state and local food service market.
