UNSPSC 50324306: Dried gold nugget loquats

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

UNSPSC 50324306 Dried gold nugget loquats is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual purchasing activity state and local governments conduct under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are school district nutrition purchases for fresh produce, dried fruits, eggs, and general cafeteria food products — staple goods far outside the scope of specialty dried loquat procurement. The source shows no solicitations for dried gold nugget loquats or any loquat variety; instead, school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and California are bidding fresh apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and broad groceries for K–12 meal service. A single opportunity (Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts ITB) involves dried fruits at scale, but specifies raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans — not loquats. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the source data rather than a live procurement category.

The recent activity under this code is dominated by school districts and county nutrition programs issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual food supply contracts. Issuing bodies include Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia, serving a GEC cooperative), and state-level procurement on behalf of the Georgia Department of Education and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and extends across Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K–12 contract (sealed bids due April 27, 2026), and Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts ITB for a correctional facility (due February 5, 2026). No activity in this code targets dried loquats or specialty dried stone fruits, making pursuit under this specific commodity code inadvisable.
