I have heard people claiming Succot (Feast of Tabernacles) before, but never anyone saying Bikurim (Feast of First Fruits).
Where did you find this interpretation? I'd love to hear the reasoning.
The only other theories I had heard while in Israel (the only place I've ever heard this topic debated) were Rosh Hoshanna and Yom Kippur.

On that day it is a celebration of the first yield of barley when it ripen three days before the Passover and three days after, the first of the wheat ripens, and on that day, they make the both into a meal than intertwine (Become one loaf) them together and make a wave offering to the Lord. We are the wheat and Christ is the Barley and on that day the both becomes one. But three days before the Passover you also pick out a lamb for the Passover as well. But on the day of the First Fruit, we are to celebrate for the First Fruit appearing, and no one should not be in want, because on that day the landowner are suppose to let the poor to glean the fields as well.

In the final analysis, it's a rabbit hole question. There have been scholarly works that point to 5 or 6 BC also, based on such as the year Herod's death, or the reign of Tiberius placing His baptism and the first Passover of His ministry later than mentioned here. A much touted chronology of a man named Robert Anderson, based on Daniel, arrives at a crucifixion year of 32 AD. Even the Bible states His ministry began when He was about 30, that great scholar Bill Clinton pointing out how it all depends on what "is is," in the final analysis. I forget it all, but chased this question at one time, the conclusion: the only certain answer must come in the form of believing what you want to believe, the honest answer nobody knows.
