UNSPSC 50325706: Dried early dapple plucot

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

UNSPSC 50325706 Dried early dapple plucot, a Commodity code, encompasses dried stone fruit and specialty produce items that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce alongside dried fruit as part of broader food-supply contracts, though opportunities specifically designated for dried dapple plucots are sparse; the code appears to capture dried specialty fruits within larger commodity food procurement frameworks that prioritize fresh produce, proteins, and staple items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia statewide procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal food-service departments. The Buy American provision requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products is standard across these solicitations, and vendors must provide HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, insurance documentation, and nutritional or formulation certifications.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce across the 2026–27 school year, spanning over 200 line items but emphasizing fresh fruits and vegetables rather than dried specialty items; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, posted a parallel commodities bid on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, covering 115 product lines for the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia issued a general food and supplies solicitation on May 15, 2026, with June 22, 2026 deadline. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, posted a broad IFB for cafeteria food products on May 4, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026 deadline, covering approximately 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations with contract term through August 31, 2027 and optional renewals. An earlier TDCJ bid for dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) showed a February 20, 2026 close date. Dried stone fruit and specialty dried produce occupy a narrow position within these broader school and institutional food-service frameworks; the code shows minimal standalone activity.
