UNSPSC 50305704: Dapple dandy plucot

The variety of plucots known as dapple dandy plucot

UNSPSC 50305704 Dapple dandy plucot is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit supply and delivery to state and local institutions, though recent state and local solicitations do not isolate this specific variety. Instead, procurement activity under this code cluster focuses on fresh produce generally—fruits and vegetables—supplied to correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, parks and recreation departments, and child nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school nutrition programs, county boards of education, regional health coalitions, and municipal agencies. State departments in Texas and Illinois have posted multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to prison food warehouses and treatment centers; school districts in Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Texas, and Mississippi have issued bids for produce to support National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program operations; and municipalities and counties have solicited fresh produce for senior centers, regional parks, and food service operations. The work involves warehouse delivery, bi-weekly or weekly scheduling, compliance with food safety standards, USDA quality and grading requirements, HACCP plans, prevailing wage certifications where applicable, and often Buy American sourcing mandates.

Activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), Texas (TDCJ prison facilities and municipal child nutrition programs), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional solicitations from Illinois, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery to Palestine, Texas (due October 19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas at $78,000 annual estimated value (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty produce for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); and Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a local-vendor preference of 10 evaluation points (due March 6, 2025). School nutrition procurement dominates the recent-opportunity set, with produce contracts typically running July through June academic years; correctional and mental health facility supply is a secondary but steady stream; and municipal and parks-based procurement appears episodic. Vendors should expect firm pricing requirements, no fuel surcharges, F.O.B. Destination terms, compliance certifications including E-Verify and debarment verification, general liability insurance typically at $1 million per occurrence, and Buy American provisions on federal nutrition program contracts.
