UNSPSC 50324005: Dried meiwa kumquats

The variety of kumquats known as meiwa kumquats that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324005 Dried meiwa kumquats is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant engagement with the specific product—dried meiwa kumquats are not appearing in current school nutrition, corrections, or institutional food service solicitations. The nine recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus), dried fruits more broadly (raisins, cranberries, prunes, tropical fruit blends), nuts, eggs, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts, but none specifically name meiwa kumquats or specialty citrus products as line items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), one county corrections facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office), one state prison system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and one municipal school nutrition department (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Most contracts are annual or multi-year term arrangements structured around sealed bids or RFPs, with Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing and USDA compliance.

The code does not show material procurement activity for dried meiwa kumquats specifically in the state and local market as of mid-2026. Recent institutional food service solicitations emphasize commodity staples, fresh produce delivery, and processed foods with high-volume, predictable demand; specialty dried citrus items do not appear in the line-item breakdowns. If market engagement under this code is a priority, the opportunity would likely require building relationships with smaller specialty food procurement offices, food service distributors supplying niche dietary or cultural requirements, or cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple districts. The broader dried-fruit category (50324000 Dried fruits) shows more activity, but the meiwa kumquat subcategory does not register in recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, IBs, or ITBs tracked in this dataset.
