UNSPSC 50325701 Dried black kat plucot is a Commodity code representing specialized fresh and dried produce items procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. Recent activity under this code shows school districts and state corrections departments soliciting individual fresh produce line items — including apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes — as well as dried fruits such as prunes. State and local nutrition directors source these items to meet Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and HACCP food-safety standards, with sealed competitive bids and firm fixed pricing for contract periods typically running July through June or multi-year terms. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition offices, state corrections departments, and municipal boards of education, each managing direct procurement or cooperative purchasing for institutional feeding programs.
