UNSPSC 50355704: Frozen organic dapple dandy plucot

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

UNSPSC 50355704 Frozen organic dapple dandy plucot is a Commodity code representing a single frozen fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code reveals little direct relevance to the nominal item. Instead, the opportunities show school districts, cities, and counties soliciting comprehensive grocery and food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items — frozen and fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies — all under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The actual work being bought is turnkey food service provisioning for K-12 nutrition programs, not procurement of a specific frozen fruit variety. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Decatur, Early County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County in Georgia), city purchasing departments (Bridgeport, Connecticut), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), a state nutrition procurement (Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts dominate the recent activity, with Douglas County School System appearing twice in the six-month window with separate RFPs for fresh produce and eggs and food supply and distribution services.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (RFP for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce with 200+ line items due June 26, 2026), Decatur City Schools (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (grocery items bid due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce bid due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System via the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP for fresh produce and eggs to 30 districts totaling approximately $5.5 million annually, with proposals due March 4, 2026). Vendor requirements consistently include HACCP plans, Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, product liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000, USDA food safety standards, and E-Verify authorization. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement scope — the commodity taxonomy does not reflect the comprehensive food service nature of awards being made.
