UNSPSC 50304313: Wolfe loquats

The variety of loquats known as wolfe loquats

UNSPSC 50304313 Wolfe loquats is a Commodity code representing a narrow, specialized fresh fruit item. State and local governments purchase this code almost exclusively through child nutrition and senior services programs — specifically Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal operations, school lunch and breakfast programs, and senior center meal distribution. The recent solicitation activity shows school districts and child care agencies sourcing fresh produce, including specialty fruits, as part of broader food supply contracts that bundle fresh produce with dairy, proteins, paper goods, and janitorial supplies. Issuing bodies are almost entirely school nutrition programs, Head Start organizations, and municipal child care or senior services divisions across the South, Upper Midwest, and Southwest. The code does not show dedicated, single-item solicitations for Wolfe loquats specifically; instead, it appears as one line item within expansive produce lists typically spanning 40 to 200+ items grouped with apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons, and other common fresh fruits required to meet USDA nutrition standards and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program compliance.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon, with school districts conducting annual or multi-year procurements for fresh produce. Representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issuing RFB 4162 for petite bananas and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, due July 29, 2026; the Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables, with award anticipated August 4, 2026; the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts through RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, proposals due March 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program food items including fresh fruits, due August 4, 2026. Most contracts use IFB or RFP notice types with firm fixed or cost-plus pricing, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school sites or child nutrition warehouses, and annual terms with renewal options. Fill-rate requirements typically run 95–98 percent, HACCP certification and traceability documentation are standard, and Buy American provisions restrict non-domestic content to a stated ceiling. The market is active and recurring annually as school years and program funding cycles align.
