UNSPSC 50325722: Dried sierra rose plucot

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

UNSPSC 50325722 Dried sierra rose plucot (Commodity) covers a narrow specialty dried fruit product that appears rarely in state and local procurement solicitations. School districts and state correctional agencies are the primary buyers under this code, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting dried sierra rose plucots. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects school nutrition departments and state agencies seeking fresh and dried fruit broadly—including dried prunes, fresh berries, apples, citrus, melons, and miscellaneous specialty produce—as part of larger cafeteria food and nutrition supply contracts. State and local governments buy these items to stock school lunch programs, correctional facility kitchens, and related institutional food services; the solicitations emphasize USDA grade compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food-safety certifications, and firm fixed pricing with transportation included.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia and Texas state procurement offices), and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, response due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items for delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport COMMODITIES bid (IFB, response due June 26, 2026) across 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas TDCJ Cafeteria Food Products IFB (IFB, original due date April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 food items for distribution to six TDCJ warehouse locations. A historical TDCJ prune procurement (IFB No. IW236532, bid opening February 20, 2026, due date passed) sought 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B dried prunes in 60–70 count size, indicating occasional state demand for specific dried fruit SKUs.
