UNSPSC 50304309: Mrs cooksey loquats

The variety of loquats known as mrs cooksey loquats

UNSPSC 50304309 Mrs cooksey loquats, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of work in recent state and local procurement activity. The source material contains no solicitations specifically for loquats or that name this product as a line item. State and local governments soliciting under procurement records tagged with this code are instead purchasing mixed fresh produce portfolios—apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and dozens of other items—along with eggs, dried fruits, and nuts for school nutrition programs, child care food programs, and county detention facilities. The code's abstract name bears no alignment to the actual composition of recent bids, which span comprehensive fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing across dozens of items per opportunity rather than a single specialty fruit variety.

Recent opportunities span school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school nutrition procurement. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce across 40 line items (bids due June 16, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts (proposals due March 4, 2026). Nearly all require weekly or bi-weekly delivery to school or facility sites, compliance with Buy American provisions mandating domestic sourcing where practicable, HACCP documentation, and liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range. The code shows no recent activity that isolates specialty fruit procurement or loquats specifically; it appears misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns under this UNSPSC designation.
