UNSPSC 50354300: Frozen organic loquats

The type of organic fruit known as organic loquats that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354300 Frozen organic loquats is a Class code that nominally names a single frozen fruit product, yet recent state and local solicitations show no activity aligned with this code's literal scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food-service procurement for school districts, county departments, and state agencies — including shelf-stable pantry items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables), fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), dairy products, bread, fluid milk, and associated non-food supplies such as cleaning and sanitation products and food-service disposables. These solicitations fall primarily under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts or general food-service supply agreements for county senior services. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual procurement activity suggests the code may have been assigned erroneously or is not the appropriate classification for these opportunities.

Recent solicitations come from school districts and county governments in Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), alongside a State of Georgia procurement. Gwinnett County issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Schools posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; Early County Schools sought line-by-line bids for food and non-food products with a June 8, 2026 deadline; and the City of Bridgeport sought grocery items for the school board via electronic bid through OpenGov with a June 30, 2026 close. All contracts feature firm fixed pricing, Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51% for processed goods), compliance with nutrition standards, and multi-year terms with optional extensions. Given the disconnect between the frozen loquat code and the actual procurement posted under it, this code shows no meaningful recent activity in its stated commodity and should not be relied upon for frozen organic fruit sourcing decisions.
