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 is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried fruits, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is tagged to school nutrition and correctional facility food service contracts with minimal direct relevance to the commodity's narrow product name. School districts, county boards of education, and state criminal justice departments are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and California. Recent opportunities span fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery procurement for K–12 nutrition programs and institutional food service, alongside isolated dried-fruit line items within broader food-service RFPs and IFBs—but the code designation does not consistently align with these broader procurements. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026) with 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K–12 term contract requiring bidders to supply 76 minimum items across 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued a solicitation for grocery items spanning over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026) for the 2026–27 school year.

Geographic activity is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, where the Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System have issued multiple fresh produce and grocery RFPs and IFBs with estimated annual expenditures ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million; Texas shows significant activity through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas, and a separate TDCJ bid (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60–70 count size at Corpus Christi location with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department of Correction at Elmwood Correctional Facility, requiring five line items on an all-or-none basis including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans with annual volumes ranging from 1,000 to 5,880 cases. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and performance periods typically run July 1 through June 30 on annual fixed-price contracts with optional renewal terms. The code shows low direct match to its nominal commodity description within recent active solicitations; most opportunities tag the code to comprehensive grocery and institutional food service rather than specialty plucots specifically.
