UNSPSC 50304006: Nagami kumquats

The variety of kumquats known as nagami kumquats

UNSPSC 50304006 Nagami kumquats is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual buying activity in the recent state and local contract opportunities provided. The recent solicitations tagged to this code overwhelmingly cover fresh produce distribution, prepared produce items, dried fruits, nuts, and comprehensive food service supply — school meals, child nutrition programs (CACFP), and institutional feeding — rather than a single specialty fruit variety. The issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high school), county boards of education, city school systems, child care and Head Start programs, and municipal departments across multiple states. Recent opportunities show sustained demand for multi-item fresh produce contracts, whole grocery assortments, and specialized federal nutrition program support (USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program). The code's nominal scope does not align with the scope of work being procured.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, where school nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunities — Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Douglas County (via the GEC Buying Cooperative), Early County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County have all posted sealed bids or RFPs for fresh produce in the past four months. Texas activity includes McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce, due March 6, 2026), Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages, due March 11, 2026), the City of Edinburg (RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies including produce, due August 4, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP for grocery products, due June 24, 2026 with total estimated value of $969,460.94). Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and California also show recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce (RFP 26-039, estimated annual budget $600,000), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP for 30 Georgia school districts covering fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, estimated annual spending $5.5 million across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026). No active solicitations for nagami kumquats specifically appear in the recent opportunities block.
