UNSPSC 50305705: Dapple fire plucot

The variety of plucots known as dapple fire plucot

UNSPSC 50305705 Dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not appear to map to actual procurement activity. The code nominally names a specialty fruit variety, but the recent opportunities tagged under it cover broad fresh produce supply — primarily to correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, and institutional food service operations — rather than any produce category matching "dapple fire plucot" specifically. The issuing bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), the Illinois Department of Corrections, school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, Early County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, and DeSoto County), county governments (Collier County, Florida), municipal agencies (the City of Bridgeport, the City of San Antonio, the City of Edinburg), state agencies (Illinois Department of Mental Health), and nonprofit organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition and Head Start of Greater Dallas). Most solicitations are RFBs or ITNs requesting fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk quantities for meal programs serving populations ranging from 400 children to dozens of school sites, with contract values estimated between $78,000 and $969,460.94 for multi-month or one-year terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ fresh produce for food warehouses at Palestine and Snyder; Edinburg CACFP meal service; San Antonio senior produce markets; Head Start of Greater Dallas), Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, and Early County schools), Illinois (Illinois Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center, Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks), Florida (Collier County North Collier Regional Park), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The most recent opportunities posted in October 2026 include TDCJ's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference). Absent a definitive match between the Commodity code name and the actual goods being procured, pursuit activity under this code warrants verification that the state and local procurement offices issuing these opportunities intend them to fall within UNSPSC 50305705 rather than a broader fresh-produce family or class code.
