UNSPSC 50304304: Champagne loquats

The variety of loquats known as champagne loquats

UNSPSC 50304304 Champagne loquats, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity indexed under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for champagne loquats; instead, all posted opportunities cover fresh produce distribution (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and other staple fruits and vegetables), dried fruits and nuts, fresh produce for federally funded child nutrition and school meal programs, and comprehensive food service supply including beverages, dairy, proteins, and paper goods. The mismatch between the code's nominal product and the work actually being bought suggests either a cataloging error or that champagne loquats are not a material procurement category among state and local buyers.

State and local procurement under this nominal code is dominated by school districts and child nutrition programs across multiple states. The issuing bodies include school nutrition programs in Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, City of Edinburg CACFP), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Oregon (Central Point School District), Mississippi (DeSoto County), and California (Santa Clara County). Regional purchasing cooperatives including the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30+ Georgia school districts) and Head Start programs also procure under similar codes. Recent activity spans Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supply (City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026); school nutrition fresh produce contracts (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, due March 4, 2026); and comprehensive school food service supply including fruits, vegetables, dairy, and proteins (Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41, contract value approximately $3.1 million for 2026-2027, due February 25, 2026; Austin ISD RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages, due March 11, 2026). Geography concentrates in Georgia and Texas with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, Mississippi, and California. Most school district procurements are IFBs or RFPs with three-month to one-year contract terms and Buy American requirements mandating domestic agricultural sourcing; many include local-vendor preferences, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and set-asides or scoring preferences for historically underutilized businesses (HUB).
