UNSPSC 50304005: Meiwa kumquats

The variety of kumquats known as meiwa kumquats

UNSPSC 50304005 Meiwa kumquats, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations among the opportunities posted between January and July 2026. The most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code or closely related fresh-produce classifications cover a broad range of institutional food service — school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional facilities — but none specifically reference meiwa kumquats or equivalent specialty citrus items. Instead, recent solicitations focus on high-volume commodity produce such as apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and tomatoes, along with fresh-fruit-and-vegetable program items, whole produce, and prepared or pre-cut options. The absence of meiwa kumquat solicitations suggests either minimal institutional demand for this specialty item or potential miscoding of opportunities in the state and local procurement databases.

School districts, counties, and municipalities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Oregon, and California are actively procuring fresh produce and grocery items for nutrition programs, but buying activity centers on mainstream produce varieties and bulk volume supply contracts rather than specialty citrus. If pursuing opportunities in the fresh-produce segment, vendors should monitor broader produce family codes under which school districts, county nutrition departments, and food service authorities solicit weekly or annual supply agreements for mixed produce portfolios; meiwa kumquats would likely qualify only as a supplemental or seasonal line item within those larger institutional food service procurements, and only where district nutrition objectives or student diversity demographics support specialty fruit introduction programs.
