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 rarely appears in state and local procurement. The recent-opportunities dataset contains no active solicitations for frozen organic loquats or products matching that description. Instead, the code has been applied to school nutrition program grocery and produce procurements that span broad food-service categories — frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous food and non-food supplies — bearing no meaningful relationship to frozen loquats as a commodity line item. State and local food-service procurement in this dataset gravitates toward full-line grocery and produce contracts rather than narrow SKUs, with vendors expected to supply hundreds of line items across multiple categories and deliver to multiple school sites under firm fixed-price terms tied to federal nutrition standards.

School boards and school districts dominate the issuing bodies, particularly in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), along with the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the State of Georgia procurement office. The geographic concentration in Georgia reflects significant recent activity, with multiple districts managing annual school nutrition contracts through cooperative buying mechanisms and Bonfire e-procurement portals. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026), and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP for the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts statewide (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). All procurement requires Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, firm pricing with limited mid-contract escalation, and delivery to school sites Monday through Friday during business hours. The code shows active procurement volume but little specific demand for the frozen loquat commodity itself.
