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 encompassing dried stone fruits and specialty dried produce items sourced for institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure dried fruits under this code primarily through school districts and correctional departments that serve high-volume meals to captive populations. Recent solicitations show that the code captures both single-commodity procurements—such as bulk dried prunes for correctional facility cafeterias—and line items within broader fresh and processed produce RFPs issued by school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, municipal school nutrition centers, state departments of criminal justice, and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of institutional end-users. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed items) appear consistently in school-lunch-related solicitations, and HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and product recall protocols are standard compliance requirements across this purchasing category.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, where state-level correctional and procurement offices have posted recent opportunities. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including specialty dried fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026.
