UNSPSC 50325716: Dried flavorella plucot

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

UNSPSC 50325716 Dried flavorella plucot is a Commodity code that captures specialized dried fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts and corrections departments, to support institutional food service operations. The code shows sparse recent activity aligned directly to its nominal scope — the source contains no active solicitations specifically requesting dried flavorella plucot. However, the tagged opportunities reveal a broader pattern: state and local procurement offices classify dried fruit and nut products under related commodity codes when sourcing for nutrition programs and detention facilities. The County of Santa Clara's February 2026 Invitation to Bids for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617), which explicitly procures dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix for the Department of Correction Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, represents the closest functional analog to this code's scope, though it was tagged to a different UNSPSC classification. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California dominate recent state and local food procurement activity, but their published solicitations emphasize fresh produce, eggs, proteins, and bulk groceries rather than specialty dried fruits.

Issuing bodies soliciting food products under this and related commodity codes include county school districts (Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), municipal school departments (Bridgeport Board of Education via City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), state procurement offices (Georgia Statewide Procurement, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), county corrections departments (Santa Clara County Sheriff), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). School districts dominate the mix, with nutrition program solicitations posted consistently from January through June 2026. The County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts bid closed February 5, 2026, requesting dried raisins (5,880 cases annually), dried cranberries (1,000 cases annually), and dried tropical fruit mix (3,000 cases annually) with five-year firm pricing and a local business preference of five percent. No active opportunities directly matching UNSPSC 50325716 dried flavorella plucot are visible in the recent posting window; practitioners pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition RFPs and corrections food service solicitations in Georgia, Texas, California, and other states where institutional meal-service programs procure specialty produce items.
