UNSPSC 50334003: Dried organic long fruit kumquats

The variety of organic kumquats known as organic long fruit kumquats that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334003 Dried organic long fruit kumquats (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes dried kumquats, but recent opportunities tagged to this code are actually school-nutrition and criminal-justice food procurement spanning fresh produce, processed foods, and miscellaneous commodities — not dried kumquats specifically. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited 200+ line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) for the 2026-27 school year under IFB posted June 10, 2026, with bid opening June 29. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought 115 line items of processed and fresh foods including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce for its Board of Education Nutrition Center under IFB posted June 2, 2026. The State of Georgia posted food and kitchen products procurement on May 15, 2026, with limited detail in the available record. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items (proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, fruits) for multiple warehouse locations under IFB posted May 4, 2026 with response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ procurement for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, posted April 23, 2026, due February 20, 2026) represents the only opportunity matching dried-fruit procurement, but the posting date appears inconsistent with the due date. School districts and state departments of corrections represent the primary issuing bodies.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on the recent opportunities identified. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear standard across school-lunch procurements. Vendor qualifications typically include HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million minimums), USDA compliance, and anti-collusion affidavits. The code exhibits no concentration among repeat issuers and no standout vendor relationships in the available records. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried organic kumquats) and the actual work being solicited (bulk school-nutrition and institutional food categories) suggests this code may be incorrectly applied by issuing bodies, or that dried kumquats are rarely procured at the state and local level.
