UNSPSC 50304004: Malayan kumquats

The variety of kumquats known as malayan kumquats

UNSPSC 50304004 Malayan kumquats, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity being solicited under this classification by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged with this code cover fresh produce supply and delivery to institutional food services — including correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior services, and child care programs — but the specific produce items range broadly across apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and other common vegetables and fruits rather than kumquats. The scope of work centers on weekly or bi-weekly fresh produce procurement with strict quality, temperature, and delivery-window requirements; compliance with USDA and child nutrition program standards where applicable; and HACCP plans and food safety certifications. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, municipal school systems, county boards of education, cities, health care coalitions, and Head Start organizations. No set-asides or preference programs appear consistently across opportunities, though some solicitations note local-vendor preferences, diverse-owned business scoring multipliers, or small-business designations.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for distribution centers at multiple facilities (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) with October deadlines; Madison Metropolitan School District seeking petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting fresh produce across 200+ line items (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System in Georgia seeking local-sourced fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). The Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health have also posted multiple small-purchase and full-competitive procurements for weekly or monthly fresh produce delivery to institutional facilities. Mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local databases; vendors should verify coding during proposal development.
