UNSPSC 50364313: Canned or jarred wolfe loquats

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

UNSPSC 50364313 Canned or jarred wolfe loquats, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific processed fruit product, but the recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations for wolfe loquats or closely related products. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring broad-spectrum food products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, condiments, and supplies—under this and overlapping codes, indicating a significant mismatch between code assignment and procurement reality.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), and local entities (City of Bridgeport). School districts account for the majority of recent activity, driven by ongoing annual food service renewals. Recent opportunities show ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs posted between January and July 2026, with response dates ranging from early March through late July. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 via GEC Buying Cooperative (fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend, due March 4, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume but limited relevance to the nominal commodity; business development professionals should treat this code assignment as potentially erroneous and instead track food-supply and commodity-procurement codes that align with actual school district and institutional buyer behavior.
