UNSPSC 50325708: Dried flavor gold plucot

The variety of plucots known as flavor gold plucot that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325708 Dried flavor gold plucot (Commodity) represents a narrow food product category that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that "dried flavor gold plucot" as a discrete line item appears rarely in actual purchasing; instead, school districts and state agencies issue broad food-supply RFPs and IFBs that bundle fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, and pantry staples into 100–400+ line items per solicitation. When dried fruit appears in these bundles, it typically sits alongside fresh apples, berries, root vegetables, and specialty produce rather than as a standalone commodity. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education Nutrition Center sought 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products also due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures cafeteria food across approximately 382 line items serving multiple warehouse locations, with pricing firm-fixed and delivery on FOB Destination terms. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and municipal boards of education, often working through state cooperative purchasing or statewide procurement divisions.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. Georgia issued a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026) through its procurement office, and Hancock County Schools (Georgia) ran a dedicated fresh-produce IFB. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, manages multi-region food procurement across five geographic warehouse areas with firm fixed pricing and 30-day standard delivery expectations. Connecticut's City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases handles nutrition-center commodity bids through its e-procurement portal. All recent opportunities impose Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act), require HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety documentation, mandate compliance with USDA grade standards, and specify delivery in sealed, frozen formats on standard pallets. Contract terms typically run July 2026 through June 2027 with Net 45 payment terms and insurance minimums between $500,000 and $1 million. No opportunities explicitly named dried plucots; the code shows no distinct recent activity for this specific dried-fruit variety.
