UNSPSC 50345718: Frozen flavorosa plucot

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

UNSPSC 50345718 Frozen flavorosa plucot, a Commodity code, maps poorly to the actual work state and local governments are buying under solicitations tagged with this code. Recent opportunities consistently solicit comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement — not frozen plucots specifically — across school districts, state health agencies, correctional facilities, and other public institutions. The code appears to be a misclassification in the state and local procurement system, tagged to opportunities that span proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and prepared foods rather than a single specialty frozen fruit item.

State and local food procurement activity concentrates heavily among school districts and state health and human services agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple invitations for bids covering supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) have all posted grocery and produce solicitations in the past six months. A Head Start organization in Dallas and the County of Santa Clara (California) have also solicited food items. The mix reflects school nutrition programs funded through federal child nutrition initiatives, state institutional feeding operations, and county or municipal food service support. Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity, with secondary concentration in Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, and California. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) covering 110+ line items with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36, and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB BID052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (bids due June 30, 2026) with Buy American domestic-ingredient requirements and LINQ ordering system integration. Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat under IFB 26-GP (bids due June 24, 2026) with an estimated total procurement value of $969,460.94 and weighted evaluation favoring unit price. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia sought fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 (bids due June 26, 2026) across 200+ line items with three delivery locations and firm pricing through June 30, 2027.
