UNSPSC 50344306: Frozen gold nugget loquats

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

UNSPSC 50344306 Frozen gold nugget loquats (Commodity) does not align with the scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses a highly specialized produce item, yet the most recent opportunities posted under or near this classification consistently solicit broad categories of food products—frozen and fresh produce, grocery items, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies—for institutional food service at schools, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care programs. None of the recent solicitations name frozen gold nugget loquats or reference this specific product line.

The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, school districts, county boards of education, correctional systems, and Head Start programs across Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, California, New Jersey, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for state hospital and supported living center food service (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with districts in Bridgeport, Connecticut; Henry County, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Decatur, Georgia; and Fulton County, Georgia soliciting comprehensive grocery and produce contracts. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida sought fresh specialty produce for a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program contract. Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County, California, and New Jersey Department of Human Services each posted solicitations for frozen and dried fruit products. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, due July 27, 2026, covering 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages); Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 (1,100+ line items for school lunch and breakfast, due June 30, 2026, requiring 51% domestic agricultural content); Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meats for CACFP, due June 24, 2026, estimated at $969,460.94); and Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 (food supply and distribution for 32 schools serving 25,500 students, approximately $9,000,000 annually, due February 18, 2026). The code shows substantial and recurring activity but little evidence of purchases specifically matching the frozen gold nugget loquat commodity description.
