UNSPSC 50324305: Dried early red loquats

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

UNSPSC 50324305 Dried early red loquats is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, sees limited direct procurement activity specific to this produce item. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried early red loquats. Instead, the code appears alongside school nutrition, correctional-facility food service, and state procurement activity for broader fresh and processed food commodities — apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus fruits, and specialty produce items in fresh form, as well as dried fruits including prunes. Issuing bodies soliciting under adjacent produce codes include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia Department of Education via the state procurement office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and correctional food-service operations. These entities typically award to single or multiple vendors on firm-fixed-price contracts running twelve months through multiyear terms, with Buy American domestic-content thresholds (minimum 51 percent for processed items) and HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, insurance, and debarment certification required.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (TDCJ multi-warehouse procurement across five geographic areas), Georgia (state procurement and Hancock County schools), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), with representative recent solicitations including the Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce RFB due June 26, 2026 (spanning over 200 produce line items for the 2026–27 school year), the City of Bridgeport COMMODITIES IFB due June 26, 2026 (115 line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center), and the Texas TDCJ Cafeteria Food Products IFB due May 4, 2026 (approximately 382 line items including canned and fresh vegetables and fruits across five warehouse areas). A separate TDCJ solicitation for whole pitted dried prunes (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) demonstrates state correctional procurement of dried fruit, though no recent state or local opportunity explicitly names dried early red loquats as a solicited item.
