UNSPSC 50344304: Frozen champagne loquats

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

UNSPSC 50344304 Frozen champagne loquats is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code buy fresh and frozen specialty produce, prepared foods, dairy products, proteins, pantry staples, beverages, and food service supplies to support institutional food service operations, including school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and Head Start child care programs. Recent solicitations span a much broader range of grocery and food procurement than the code's nominal name suggests; the actual buying activity covers comprehensive food service supply chains for public institutions rather than a single specialty item. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the majority of recent opportunities posted by state and local boards of education across multiple states, alongside solicitations from state health and human services departments, county corrections facilities, and federal Head Start contractors.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Fulton County, Henry County) accounting for roughly half of visible opportunities, followed by Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Bridgeport Board of Education), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), New Jersey (Department of Human Services), and California (Santa Clara County Corrections). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), a multi-line-item food service contract covering proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), with firm fixed pricing and National School Lunch Program compliance requirements; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program standards across 32,409 annual cases (due June 24, 2026), with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026) with delivery to three school locations and firm fixed pricing for the July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract period.
