UNSPSC 50314003: Organic long fruit kumquats

The variety of organic kumquats known as organic long fruit kumquats

UNSPSC 50314003 Organic long fruit kumquats (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. Recent opportunities attributed to 50314003 span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs across multiple states, but they center on bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, and mixed produce items—not kumquats. The solicitations represent institutional food service buying by school districts and systems, which constitutes the primary market for produce under this code's taxonomy, though the actual products being procured diverge materially from the code's nominal scope.

School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity spread across Georgia (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Schools, Douglas County Schools via the GEC Buying Cooperative), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Utah (Salt Lake City School District), and additional jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (response due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering approximately 72 produce items across 30 school districts (estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). Most contracts run from July 1 through June 30 of the following year to align with school fiscal calendars, require weekly or twice-weekly delivery, demand HACCP plans and food safety certifications, and emphasize domestic sourcing and Buy American compliance.
