UNSPSC 50324311: Dried tanaka loquats

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

UNSPSC 50324311 Dried tanaka loquats is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The two recent opportunities that cite this code are school nutrition and correctional-facility food supply contracts; however, neither actually solicits dried tanaka loquats by name or specification. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, specialty items) for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school locations and a June 26, 2026 response date. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026. Both contracts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and include HACCP or nutritional analysis documentation requirements. Neither opportunity explicitly names dried tanaka loquats.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut among the school nutrition contracts, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing a separate IFB (304T-26-300CF) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic areas in Texas with a May 4, 2026 response date; that solicitation also does not reference dried tanaka loquats. A second TDCJ bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes, posted in April 2026 with a February 20, 2026 response date (already past), specifies U.S. Grade B prunes in 60–70 count size, 1,400-box minimum order, but again does not reference tanaka loquats. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local school districts and correctional agencies are procuring fresh, frozen, and dried fruits and vegetables under broader commodity categories, but not dried tanaka loquats as a distinct line item.
