UNSPSC 50355720: Frozen organic red kat plucot

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

UNSPSC 50355720 Frozen organic red kat plucot is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect purchases of this specific product. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad-scope food procurement spanning shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, and institutional food service supplies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for senior services in October 2026, with delivery to a single distribution site. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery and food-service products (breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, meat products) for the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program in June 2026. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, specialty items) with delivery to three school sites for the 2026-27 school year. The mix of issuing bodies includes county boards of education, city school boards, county commissioners, and state purchasing offices. Most recent activity centers on school nutrition programs and county food-assistance initiatives, with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content) and National School Lunch Program compliance requirements appearing across multiple solicitations.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Georgia, with the State of Georgia, Hancock County (Georgia), Gwinnett County (Georgia), and Early County (Georgia) issuing bids in May and June 2026, and Connecticut represented by the City of Bridgeport in June 2026. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce across three school sites; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 Purchase of Food Items (informal written quotes, due October 19, 2026) for mixed shelf-stable groceries to senior services; and Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (line-by-line competitive bids, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items plus non-food and paper supplies. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Across all opportunities, vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP documentation or food-safety certifications, carry required insurance, meet E-Verify and debarment-verification requirements, and accept firm pricing for the contract term with price escalation requests permitted only on six-month cycles tied to USDA indices or equivalent benchmarks.
