UNSPSC 50304001: Hong kong kumquats

The variety of kumquats known as hong kong kumquats

UNSPSC 50304001 Hong Kong kumquats is a Commodity code. The recent solicitation activity under this code does not align with procurement for the specific product named in the code. State and local governments procuring under the tag 50304001 are actually buying fresh produce, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables for food service operations—including institutional dining at correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior centers, and child care programs. The actual scope spans apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, and dozens of other common produce items, often delivered on standing schedules with quality and freshness standards tied to federal nutrition programs like the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, municipalities, senior services divisions, and health care coalitions. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations in the past month alone, signaling repeat and ongoing demand from state prison food services.

Recent procurement is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Mississippi, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for delivery to its Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IFB/RFQ, responses due October 14–19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas in 150-count cases at an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a three-year term and two optional one-year renewals (ITN, proposals due March 6, 2025); Head Start of Greater Dallas procuring approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products with an estimated total value of $969,460.94 (IFB 26-GP, bids due June 24, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions and domestic sourcing preferences appear in school and public nutrition solicitations, and many solicitations carry local-vendor or geographic-preference scoring. This code sees active, ongoing procurement with short response windows typical of standing supply contracts for institutional food services.
