UNSPSC 50324301: Dried advance loquats

The variety of loquats known as advance loquats that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324301 Dried advance loquats is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried fruit procurements for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with loquats specifically. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition and corrections-sector solicitations that bundle dried and fresh produce across multiple categories. State and local buyers under related produce codes include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state purchasing offices (Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts). These issuing bodies solicit produce through IFB notices with firm-price, full-year contract terms and Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content in processed items.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. The Hancock County Schools IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) solicited fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school sites and sealed-bid opening scheduled for June 29, 2026. The City of Bridgeport sought commodities including fruit and vegetable products (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) through electronic submission on the OpenGov portal, with firm pricing through June 30, 2027 and potential contract extension. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes per delivery area (bid opening originally February 18, 2026, amended to February 20, 2026). A broader Georgia state solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) covered food supplies and kitchen products with scope details in an attached document. All recent solicitations required HACCP plans or USDA compliance verification, debarment certification, and insurance documentation; school nutrition contracts specified MBE/CBE or local preferences where applicable.
