UNSPSC 50355701: Frozen organic black kat plucot

The variety of organic plucots known as organic black kat plucot that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355701 Frozen organic black kat plucot is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no activity purchasing frozen organic black kat plucots or any specialty frozen stone fruits. Instead, the code appears to be receiving misdirected tags for broad food procurement — primarily shelf-stable grocery items, fresh produce, and school nutrition program supplies across multiple product categories. School districts and county governments are the dominant issuing bodies in the recent record, soliciting food and nutrition services to support National School Lunch Program operations, along with county senior services departments and state procurement offices purchasing general food staples for institutional feeding programs. The actual work being bought consists of hundreds of line items spanning canned proteins, vegetables, rice, pasta, fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, melons, citrus, specialty fruits), dairy, condiments, seasonings, and bread products — none of which are frozen plucots or specialty fruit products. Vendors typically compete on firm fixed-price bids evaluated per unit of measure (per ounce or case), with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; school district contracts routinely impose Buy American domestic-sourcing minimums (51 percent for processed goods), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition compliance, HACCP documentation, liability insurance, and E-Verify requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 due date; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items in an informal written quote RFQ with a response date of October 19, 2026; Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 deadline; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited bids on over 1,100 grocery-line items for school lunch program support with an electronic-bid deadline of June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies solicitation on May 15, 2026 with a June 22 deadline, with full scope details in an attached document. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (frozen organic specialty stone fruit) and the actual procurement activity (general institutional food purchasing) suggests that this code is receiving incorrect tags in state and local procurement systems, making it unsuitable for business development focus on frozen specialty fruit products.
