UNSPSC 50335711: Dried organic flavor jewel plucot

The variety of organic plucots known as organic flavor jewel plucot that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335711 Dried organic flavor jewel plucot is a Commodity code representing specialty dried fruit products purchased by state and local education and corrections agencies. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments procure dried fruits—including prunes, dried plucots, and related specialty items—primarily as components of institutional food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodities. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia Department of Education and related agencies), and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs source fresh and dried fruits as part of annual food-supply contracts covering 200+ produce line items with Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed items), while corrections agencies procure dried fruits as individual line items within broader cafeteria-food solicitations covering proteins, grains, and specialty items. The market shows active competitive bidding through IFB and sealed-bid mechanisms, with standardized delivery, HACCP documentation, and USDA compliance requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 food line items including dried fruits destined to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas, with firm pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. TDCJ also issued Bid IW236532 for whole, pitted U.S. Grade B dried prunes in 60–70 count size (1,400 boxes minimum to the Corpus Christi location, due February 20, 2026, amended). Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce including specialty items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026), with delivery to three school sites and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) solicited 115 commodity line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026) with electronic submission through OpenGov Procurement and delivery Monday–Friday with 24-hour emergency stock backup.
