UNSPSC 50314303: Organic big jim loquats

The variety of organic loquats known as organic big jim loquats

UNSPSC 50314303 Organic big jim loquats is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—organic specialty fruit—does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it, which focus instead on conventional fresh produce, particularly bananas and mixed fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs. The single relevant opportunity names petite bananas, not loquats, and broader school district RFPs cover apples, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and standard commodity produce rather than organic specialty varieties.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent opportunities, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System working through the GEC Buying Cooperative. These districts solicit produce through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs with response dates spanning May through July 2026, typically for contract terms running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with annual contract values ranging from $78,000 for petite bananas at Madison Metropolitan to $4.4 million for the two-area GEC cooperative serving 30 districts. Recurring evaluation criteria across these solicitations emphasize cost (30–50 points), product quality and availability (15–30 points), vendor experience (10–20 points), and compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety plans, and federal nutrition standards. The code shows no meaningful activity for organic specialty fruits and appears to be a cataloging mismatch.
