UNSPSC 50335705: Dried organic dapple fire plucot

The variety of organic plucots known as organic dapple fire plucot that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335705 Dried organic dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code that sees limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name refers to a specific dried stone fruit variety, but state and local solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly target broad food service categories — fresh produce, grocery items, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional cafeterias. The mismatch between the code's specificity (a single fruit variety) and the actual buying activity (commodity baskets spanning dozens of food categories) suggests either misclassification in the source data or that procurement offices are applying the code as a catch-all for produce-related acquisitions rather than targeting dried dapple plucots specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), county government (Santa Clara County, California), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts dominate the recent solicitation volume, with multiple Georgia districts posting nutrition program bids in the spring and early summer of 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (five school district bids), with secondary activity in Texas (state and TDCJ facilities), California (county correctional facility), Connecticut (city board of education), Missouri (school district), and Virginia (large county school district). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items with a response due date of June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026; Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spend of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area; and Santa Clara County (California) issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) to a correctional facility with bids due February 5, 2026. None of the recent solicitations explicitly sought dried dapple plucots or a comparable single-variety dried fruit product; all target volume food service supply with multiple product lines, firm-fixed pricing for annual contract periods (typically July 1 through June 30), Buy American compliance, HACCP and food safety certification, and delivery to multiple school or institutional sites.
