The variety of plucots known as dapple fire plucot that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345705 Frozen dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code that frames state and local government food procurement far more broadly than its nominal specificity suggests. Recent solicitations tagged under this code show that state and local agencies are actually buying comprehensive grocery and food service supplies—proteins, prepared foods, dairy products, frozen specialty items, fresh produce, and food service packaging—to support institutional feeding operations including state hospitals, school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional institutions. The code sees activity across a diverse issuing-body mix: state health and human services commissions in Texas, county school boards in Georgia, city school districts in Florida and Connecticut, independent school districts in Missouri, Head Start programs, and county corrections facilities in California. The work ranges from single-source food distribution contracts serving thousands of daily meals to specialty frozen-fruit procurements for correctional feeding and fresh-produce supply for school breakfast and lunch programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary presence in Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for grocery items at Big Spring State Hospital, bids due July 27, 2026, covering approximately 110 line items with prior-year spend of $32,226.36 and a contract term from September 2026 through August 2027; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act requirements; Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products supporting child care programs, with estimated procurement value of $969,460.94 and bids due June 24, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items, bids due June 26, 2026. Most solicitations require firm, fixed pricing with delivery to multiple school or facility locations, HACCP compliance, and detailed food safety documentation. The code shows consistent quarterly activity with no recent material lull in state and local posting frequency.
