UNSPSC 50344002: Frozen limequat kumquats

The variety of kumquats known as limequat kumquats that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344002 Frozen limequat kumquats is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy products, bakery items, beverages, and food service supplies for institutional feeding — encompassing broad-based grocery procurement rather than any specific specialty fruit product. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement practice, making it unsuitable as a reliable signal for targeting business development activity.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Collier County, New Jersey Department of Human Services), municipal school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), and nonprofit child-care operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas HHSC is the dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food service and consumable products across state hospitals and state supported living centers. Recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (closed); Collier County's ITN for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park with a 10-point local-vendor preference; Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products across 18 qualified ordering entities statewide, estimated at $9 million annually; and multiple school district line-item food procurement solicitations (Early County Board of Education IFB due June 8, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary representation in Connecticut, Oregon, New Jersey, and other states. Buy American or Buy Local requirements appear in school and state-agency solicitations; local-vendor preferences are explicit in county and municipal procurement. Bidders typically face 90-percent line-item bid thresholds, firm fixed pricing, delivery constraints (often 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday–Friday), and warranties of 90 days or manufacturer minimum. This code's actual purchasing activity does not support commodity-level targeting — use higher-tier family or class codes for food procurement planning instead.
