UNSPSC 50334305: Dried organic early red loquats

The variety of organic loquats known as organic early red loquats that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334305 Dried organic early red loquats, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name specifies a single dried fruit product, yet the recent opportunities posted under it encompass broad fresh and processed food procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items—apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items including kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit—with contract delivery to three school sites for the 2026-27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities bid for 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products destined for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also posted food procurement solicitations during the same window, though neither detailed dried loquats specifically. The issuing bodies are school districts and institutional food-service purchasers operating under Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Connecticut. Hancock County Schools' IFB closed June 26, 2026, with sealed bids opened June 29 at the county board office; the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid closed the same date with electronic submission through OpenGov. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a separate dried prunes solicitation (IW236532) with a February 2026 due date, indicating that the department procures dried fruits for institutional feeding on a line-item basis rather than as part of broad commodity bundles. No recent opportunities explicitly name dried organic early red loquats as a line item, suggesting the code assignment may reflect a data-entry error or a very narrow purchasing pattern that does not surface in current state and local notices. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether state and local schools or institutions are actively sourcing dried loquats as standalone items or whether activity is limited to broader fresh-produce and processed-commodity contracts where loquats appear only as specialty items or do not appear at all.
