UNSPSC 50314305: Organic early red loquats

The variety of organic loquats known as organic early red loquats

UNSPSC 50314305 Organic early red loquats is a Commodity code describing a specific fresh produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect actual procurement of loquats. Instead, school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are soliciting fresh produce more broadly — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and other commodity produce staples — under notices tagged with this code or its parent families. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (organic early red loquats) and the actual work being solicited (general fresh produce distribution to school nutrition programs) suggests either a tagging anomaly in the state and local procurement system or that loquats are bundled into broader produce categories that the issuing bodies label under this code's tier.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Bartow County) and including independent school districts in Texas (McAllen, Austin) and Florida (Hillsborough County). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026 at $78,000 annually; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program produce at $600,000 annually, with technical questions due February 25, 2026, and Addendum 1 posted February 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas at $5.5 million combined estimated annual spending, with proposals due March 4, 2026. Most opportunities are IFBs or RFPs with contract periods from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, traceability documentation, competitive sealed bidding on a line-item basis, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites. The code shows active procurement volume but limited applicability to the specialized commodity it nominally describes.
