UNSPSC 50334000: Dried organic kumquats

UNSPSC 50334000 Dried organic kumquats, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the provided source material. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and institutional food service across multiple states — covering fresh produce, eggs, proteins, grains, dairy products, and prepared entrees — but include no solicitations for dried kumquats or other dried organic fruits. The scope of work actually being procured under these opportunities centers on fresh and frozen produce, bulk grocery staples, and foodservice commodities required to supply daily meal programs across K–12 school districts, county school systems, state departments, and correctional facilities, with the overwhelming majority of volume driven by school lunch and breakfast programs. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state/county procurement offices on behalf of corrections and institutional food service (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, County of Santa Clara). State and local agencies posting these opportunities include the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

Activity is geographically concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and California, with secondary presence in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, bid opening June 29, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit/vegetable products (due June 26, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products covering 382 line items (due May 4, 2026 with extension from April 21), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 term contract (due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation covering over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026), and County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts serving the Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026). The code as currently indexed appears to be a classification mismatch; procurement activity reflects broader institutional food service and K–12 nutrition supply rather than specialty dried fruit categories.
