UNSPSC 50335720: Dried organic red kat plucot

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

UNSPSC 50335720 Dried organic red kat plucot, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally describes a single specialty dried fruit variety, yet recent solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly target broad food-service provisioning for school districts, correctional facilities, and other public institutions — encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared entrees, and dozens of other commodity categories bearing no relationship to dried kat plucots. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent IFBs and RFPs from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted within the past four months. State departments and correctional systems also procure under this code — the State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products and dried prunes through separate IFBs. A county-level procurement also appeared: Santa Clara County (California) requested dried fruits and nuts for its correctional facility via ITB (due February 5, 2026). The mismatch between the code's product name and actual buying patterns suggests either a systemic coding error or severe scope drift in UNSPSC classification practice across these jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes with delivery to three school sites and a response date of June 26, 2026; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic content in processed products). Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for over 400 food items including fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods due April 29, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a deadline of April 27, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought over 900 line items of groceries including snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, and prepared entrees for the 2026-27 school year via electronic submission by April 29, 2026. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), with a March 4, 2026 deadline. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (response date extended to May 4, 2026). Santa Clara County (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to supply its correctional facility on an all-or-none basis with a five-year contract term and a February 5, 2026 deadline. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE preferences applicable. School-nutrition-focused procurement remains the dominant activity, with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP and food-safety certifications, and Buy American (minimum 51% domestic content) appearing across nearly every solicitation.
