UNSPSC 50345706: Frozen early dapple plucot

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

UNSPSC 50345706 Frozen early dapple plucot is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific perishable fruit product, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad institutional food service provisioning — grocery procurement for state hospitals, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations — in which frozen early dapple plucots (if procured at all) represent a single line item among hundreds in comprehensive food supply contracts. The issuing bodies are state health and human services departments, county and city school districts, county sheriffs' offices, and regional Head Start agencies. When state and local jurisdictions tag opportunities under this code, they are typically acquiring multi-category food service contracts that include proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, prepared foods, and related supplies — a mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the actual work being bought.

Recent opportunities span Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas again (Head Start of Greater Dallas), Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County School System), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), California (County of Santa Clara), New Jersey (Department of Human Services), and Georgia once more. The code shows no standout repeat buyers — each issuing body appears once or twice, and the geographic spread is nationwide with concentration in the Southeast. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital with bids due July 27, 2026; the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BID052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products due June 24, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items) due June 26, 2026. None of these solicitations specifically targets frozen early dapple plucots; the code appears to be a miscategorization artifact rather than a signal of active demand for this commodity.
