UNSPSC 50324313: Dried wolfe loquats

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

UNSPSC 50324313 Dried wolfe loquats, a Commodity code, covers dried specialty fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show that the code captures procurements of dried fruit items alongside broader fresh and processed produce portfolios—though the term "dried wolfe loquats" does not appear directly in current opportunities, the code sits within the dried fruit taxonomy that school districts and corrections departments draw upon when sourcing specialty dried fruits for meal preparation. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia statewide procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and corrections facilities. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with institutional cafeteria food service also present. The code reflects broader commodity procurement patterns in which state and local education and corrections agencies bundle dried fruits with fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, and processed foods into consolidated RFPs and IFBs.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a due date of June 26, 2026, soliciting fresh produce and related items for the 2026–27 school year under Buy American requirements. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued solicitation BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, for commodities including fruit and vegetable products to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submission required through the OpenGov Procurement Portal and MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, posted IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (due date May 4, 2026 as extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas in Texas, covering approximately 382 line items. TDCJ also issued Bid No. IW236532 on April 23, 2026, for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, minimum 1,400 boxes to the Corpus location), with the due date originally set for February 20, 2026, and acknowledgment of Amendment No. 1 required for consideration.
