UNSPSC 50325713: Dried flavor queen plucot

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

UNSPSC 50325713 Dried flavor queen plucot, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments purchase primarily for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facility cafeterias. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried and fresh produce items under this code alongside broader fresh-produce and food-commodity contracts. The work encompasses procurement of fruit and vegetable products meeting USDA grade standards, with sourcing typically subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (commonly 51 percent for processed items). Vendors must comply with food-safety certifications, HACCP plans, nutritional labeling, and health inspection documentation; delivery to multiple designated institutional sites is standard, with firm fixed pricing for contract periods running twelve months or longer.

School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posting fresh-produce and commodity RFBs in June 2026. State corrections departments also solicit regularly under this code—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products in May 2026 and a separate bid for dried prunes in February 2026. The state of Georgia posted a food-supplies solicitation in May 2026. Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas; Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB called for delivery to three school sites by July 1, 2026, across over 200 line items of fresh produce including berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 commodities IFB encompassed 115 line items for delivery to a nutrition center through June 30, 2027, requiring electronic submission through OpenGov. TDCJ's May 2026 cafeteria-food IFB covered 382 line items across multiple categories for six warehouse locations statewide, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026.
