UNSPSC 50345720: Frozen red kat plucot

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

UNSPSC 50345720 Frozen red kat plucot is a Commodity code with limited direct relevance to state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal product description; instead, they reflect actual school district, state agency, and other public-body food service procurement covering broad grocery and fresh produce categories, frozen foods, ice cream, dried fruits, and institutional food supply contracts. State and local governments are procuring these items primarily through school nutrition programs (National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs), institutional food service for state hospitals and supported living centers, detention facilities, Head Start programs, and special nutrition initiatives such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), county and municipal school boards (Hancock County Georgia, Bulloch County Georgia, Henry County Georgia, Fulton County Georgia, Early County Georgia, Decatur Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, Rockwood Missouri), city education departments (Bridgeport Connecticut), county corrections departments (Santa Clara County California), and nonprofit child care agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The code does not appear to drive procurement activity around the specific frozen red kat plucot product; rather, it has been applied to much broader food service categories that span proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and consumable supplies.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, California, Florida, Oregon, and New Jersey, with the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas state health institutions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, with approximately $32,226.36 historical annual spend), the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026, with Buy American domestic content requirements), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products meeting CACFP requirements for child care programs (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (proposals due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas). School districts consistently require firm fixed pricing, delivery to multiple sites Monday through Friday, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability, and strict adherence to USDA nutritional and Buy American standards, with many reserving the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
