UNSPSC 50344305: Frozen early red loquats

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

UNSPSC 50344305 Frozen early red loquats is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent procurement activity in state and local government. The code's abstract product scope—a specific frozen fruit variety—does not align with actual solicitation practice in this dataset. Recent opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly solicit comprehensive grocery and food service procurement covering hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and related supplies, not frozen loquats specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests either misclassification at posting or use of a catch-all Commodity code within a broader Family classification for food procurement.

State and local buyers using food-service codes in this tier include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Henry County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), county corrections and sheriff departments (Santa Clara County), Head Start agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Texas HHSC and Texas-based school districts are the most active repeat issuers in the recent dataset, with multiple solicitations for supplemental food and consumable products at state facilities. Geographic spread includes Texas (dominant), Georgia (multiple school districts and counties), Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and Florida, with school-based nutrition programs representing the largest segment of activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, baseline spend $32,226.36 annually), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB BID052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the school lunch program (due June 30, 2026, with Buy American and HHFKA compliance required), and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat across 32,409 cases annually to meet CACFP requirements (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94). School nutrition procurement dominates; most solicitations enforce Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, and nutritional standards including whole-grain and sodium thresholds. This code shows substantial activity but does not isolate procurement for frozen loquats as a distinct line item.
