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 representing a narrow fruit product category with minimal recent procurement activity in state and local government. The code shows essentially no relevant recent activity; the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains only broad-scope food service solicitations for school districts, correctional facilities, and county nutrition programs that encompass fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, and general grocery items spanning dozens or hundreds of line items. None of these solicitations specifically names dried tanaka loquats or identifies this product as a line item within their scope. The Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) is the closest match by product category, but it targets dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional-facility food service—not loquats. All other opportunities are broad fresh-produce or general-grocery solicitations driven by school nutrition programs across Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas, with no indication that dried tanaka loquats appear on their approved product lists or are actively specified items.

State and local procurement under this code does not appear active at present. The opportunities on file reflect institutional food service demand for high-volume commodity items (apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, grains, and common dried fruits), but dried tanaka loquats—a specialty or imported dried fruit—do not surface in any of the posted solicitations. This suggests the product is either not routinely purchased by state and local food service operations, is sourced through broader fruit categories or cooperative agreements, or falls outside the procurement footprint currently visible in public notices. Organizations pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition and correctional-facility food service RFPs in states with active K–12 procurement (Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut show recent activity), but should not expect immediate near-term opportunities specific to dried tanaka loquats.
