UNSPSC 50535714: Dried non GMO flavor supreme plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavor supreme plucot that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50535714 Dried non-GMO flavor supreme plucot is a Commodity code that describes a single specialty dried fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect purchases of dried plucots. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad grocery, produce, and food service supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared meals—where the dried plucot specification plays no visible role. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code has been assigned to encompass food supply more broadly. State and local buyers posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), city and county procurement offices (Bridgeport, Dallas, Hillsborough County), a state health and human services agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and the State of Georgia. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with multiple districts soliciting annual or multi-year grocery and produce contracts.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Connecticut) and South Texas, with additional solicitations from Virginia and Ohio jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026, for grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026, supporting 32 schools and 25,500 students with an estimated $9 million annual spend), Hancock County Board of Education's Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County Board of Education's School Nutrition Grocery Bid (due May 4, 2026, covering 14 school sites), and Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods RFP (due February 25, 2026, with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million for the 2026–2027 school year). Non-school opportunities include Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (due June 25, 2026, with an estimated value of $17.8 million over three years) and the City of Dallas's boxed and bulk meal delivery RFCSP (due March 27, 2026, for up to 200-person events). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 aligned to the school year, with typical requirements for Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, Net 30–45 payment terms, and commercial general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence or higher.
