UNSPSC 50344303: Frozen big jim loquats

The variety of loquats known as big jim loquats that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344303 Frozen big jim loquats (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under recent solicitations tagged with this code. The recent opportunities block contains no bids for frozen big jim loquats or any specialty frozen fruit matching that description. Instead, the tagged solicitations span broad grocery and food service procurement for state hospitals, school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—covering proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, produce, prepared foods, and consumable supplies. The code appears to be a mismatch with the buying activity it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County School System) and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services). Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations from Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026). Neither of these solicitations involves frozen big jim loquats; both request broad commodity food baskets with dozens to thousands of line items. The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants investigation with the issuing agency to confirm proper taxonomy mapping.
