UNSPSC 50364304: Canned or jarred champagne loquats

The variety of loquats known as champagne loquats that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364304 Canned or jarred champagne loquats (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty food product that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts for institutional feeding programs, though recent opportunities reveal that the code sees limited stand-alone activity — most solicitations naming this code do not isolate champagne loquats specifically but instead tag it within larger food commodity or fresh-produce buys spanning dozens or hundreds of line items covering canned vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, and specialty items. The state and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include county board of education nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and county senior services operations. When champagne loquats appear in scope, they are typically one of many shelf-stable or canned fruit options within food-service line-item lists rather than a standalone procurement focus.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with activity concentrated among state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services procurement (Texas HHSC, Illinois veterans' homes), and local education and county operations. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and fruits (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for canned applesauce at 4,760 cases (due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center covering multiple NIGP food classes (due July 13, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's May 2026 IFB for approximately 382 cafeteria food-product line items across TDCJ warehouses (extended to May 4, 2026). None of these opportunities isolates canned or jarred champagne loquats as a distinct procurement driver; the code's annotation in the source data appears misaligned with actual buying patterns, which favor broader institutional food buys where the product would compete as an equivalent or approved substitute within larger canned-fruit categories.
