UNSPSC 50325705: Dried dapple fire plucot

The variety of plucots known as dapple fire plucot that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325705 Dried dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and specialty produce for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food services. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show that buying entities are actually soliciting across a broad range of fresh produce—apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, melons, peppers, and tomatoes—alongside dried fruits such as prunes; the code's nominal specificity to one item type does not match the scope of work state and local buyers are tagging to it. School districts are the dominant issuing body, with activity also visible from state correctional departments and municipal education boards. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Board of Education, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are the recent repeat issuers. Vendors responding to these opportunities must comply with Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products, hold appropriate USDA certifications and grade documentation, provide HACCP or equivalent food-safety plans, complete E-Verify authorization, and maintain commercial general liability insurance; school-district buyers also impose MBE/CBE and disadvantaged-vendor certifications where applicable.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce across three delivery locations for the 2026–27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce) due June 26, 2026, through the OpenGov Procurement Portal; the State of Georgia's request for food supplies and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; the Texas Comptroller's IFB on behalf of TDCJ for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas, with responses due May 4, 2026; and TDCJ's separate bid for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, minimum 1,400 boxes to the Corpus location. Delivery terms are typically FOB destination with freight prepaid on pallets, pricing firm-fixed for the contract term, and payment within 30 to 45 days of receipt and inspection.
