UNSPSC 50324000: Dried kumquats

Any of several small yellow to orange citrus fruits with sweet spongy rind and somewhat acid pulp that are used chiefly for preserves produced by a tree or shrub (genus fortunella) of the rue family that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324000 Dried kumquats, a Class code, shows no meaningful recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit commodity, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and broad food service supply categories — none of which align with dried kumquats specifically. A Santa Clara County detention facility procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) requested dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans; a Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) sought whole pitted dried prunes; and a Georgia school nutrition solicitation (PE68910NONST2026000000049, due April 29, 2026) covered over 400 food items including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, and condiments. None of these opportunities actually sought dried kumquats.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities assigned to it suggests either persistent tagging error or that dried kumquats do not appear in current state and local nutrition and detention-facility procurement. School districts, county school systems, state departments of criminal justice, and county detention facilities dominate the recent activity in this code space, but they are buying mainstream dried fruit staples (raisins, prunes, cranberries), fresh produce (apples, berries, broccoli, carrots), and full food service baskets, not kumquats. Business development teams treating this code as an active procurement category should verify their own target agencies' actual commodity needs before pursuing; the code as currently tagged does not reflect a reliable market signal for dried kumquat supply.
