UNSPSC 50314302: Organic benlehr loquats

The variety of organic loquats known as organic benlehr loquats

UNSPSC 50314302 Organic benlehr loquats (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's actual scope. The code nominally covers a single exotic fruit variety, but recent state and local solicitations under this designation overwhelmingly target broad fresh produce procurement—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce—for school nutrition programs. The code appears to function as a catch-all commodity code for miscellaneous fresh fruits within procurement systems, disconnected from its narrow product name. State and local buyers using this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education across Georgia and Texas, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District, with a single statewide Georgia produce solicitation from the State of Georgia. No recent opportunities specifically requesting organic benlehr loquats appear in the dataset; the mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or serves as a default classification for produce items outside narrower category codes.

School districts dominate procurement under this code, soliciting through RFP, RFB (Request for Bid), and IFB (Invitation for Bid) processes for annual school nutrition contracts spanning July 2026 through June 2027, typically emphasizing USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, and local or domestic sourcing preferences. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spend of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by region (due March 4, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations in Florida and Wisconsin. School districts typically award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis, allow multiple vendor awards on a line-item basis, and include renewal options for up to three to five additional one-year terms at same pricing or with indexed price adjustments tied to USDA or labor statistics data.
