UNSPSC 50325720: Dried red kat plucot

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

UNSPSC 50325720 Dried red kat plucot is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and processed produce items for institutional food service — particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public agencies. Recent solicitations show that while the code's nominal scope references a specific dried fruit variety, actual procurement activity spans broad fresh produce categories including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty fruits. School districts and state correctional agencies dominate the issuing-body mix; school nutrition departments issue the majority of recent RFBs and IFBs, with state departments of education, state prison systems, and county boards of education all active. The scope of work under this code encompasses sealed-bid procurement of produce to supply cafeteria operations, warehouse distribution networks, and delivery to multiple institutional locations, typically with firm pricing for the contract term, Buy American compliance requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP and food-safety certifications, and delivery on FOB Destination or similar all-inclusive freight terms.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a response deadline of June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school locations for the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities RFB (BNB053266) due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, and delivery to six TDCJ warehouse distribution points across Texas. A separate TDCJ procurement (IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60–70 count size specified 1,400 boxes minimum for Corpus Christi delivery. All recent solicitations enforced Buy American requirements and mandated vendor compliance with USDA grade standards, food-safety regulations, insurance thresholds, and debarment certification.
