UNSPSC 50314300: Organic loquats

The type of organic fruit known as organic loquats

UNSPSC 50314300 Organic loquats, a Class code, does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a single commodity—organic loquats—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad fresh-produce procurement by school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions, encompassing bananas, apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, citrus, melons, leafy greens, and mixed fresh-produce snacks with no mention of loquats. School districts appear most frequently in the recent record, with Madison Metropolitan School District and Hancock County Board of Education posting multiple RFBs for fresh fruit and vegetable items, while Bartow County Schools and Early County Board of Education solicited broader fresh-produce and food-supply contracts. County park departments and healthcare providers round out the issuing-body mix, though with lower frequency in this sample.

The code shows activity across multiple states, concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and the State of Georgia itself) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional activity in Florida (Collier County) and in Marion County's health-care coalition. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks processed and delivered ready-to-eat within 400 miles of Madison (5,900 weekly servings for USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, bids due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, delivery to three schools through June 30, 2027); and Bartow County Schools' RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four one-year renewal options). The code's tagging appears misaligned with actual procurement scope—vendors pursuing activity under this code should verify the actual produce items required in each solicitation rather than assuming organic-loquat specialization.
