UNSPSC 50354305: Frozen organic early red loquats

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

UNSPSC 50354305 Frozen organic early red loquats is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single frozen fruit product, but recent state and local opportunities show little activity aligned with this specific item. Instead, the code's recent tagging appears misapplied to broader food procurement — the opportunities posted under it solicit general grocery items, fresh produce, and school lunch program supplies spanning hundreds of line items including shelf-stable goods, dairy, proteins, vegetables, and fresh fruits. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), county service departments (Gwinnett County), city boards of education (Bridgeport), and state agencies (State of Georgia). The work involves meeting National School Lunch Program nutrition standards, Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plan compliance, and adherence to federal regulations including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items through an IWQ, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought electronic bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, with bids due June 30, 2026, and Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies, with bids due June 8, 2026. The State of Georgia also posted a bid for food supplies and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. This code shows limited relevance to the frozen organic loquats commodity it nominally describes; the actual buying activity targets multi-item grocery and produce contracts serving school nutrition programs and county service departments.
