UNSPSC 50374005: Canned or jarred organic meiwa kumquats

The variety of organic kumquats known as organic meiwa kumquats that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374005 Canned or jarred organic meiwa kumquats is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. While the code nominally describes a single specialty fruit product, the recent opportunities posted under or near this taxonomy entry are actually broad food service and nutrition procurements spanning dozens of food categories — fresh produce, proteins, dairy, bakery items, canned vegetables, frozen entrees, and general cafeteria supplies — rather than organic kumquats specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code area include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, municipal purchasing departments, and independent school districts across multiple states, reflecting fragmented demand across institutional food service functions rather than concentrated purchasing intent.

Representative recent opportunities show the actual scope: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) is bidding fresh produce across 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year via IFB due June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is soliciting supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers via IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,700 cases each) due in May and July 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is procuring approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF extended to May 4, 2026. Recent activity also includes the State of Illinois soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (both brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants) and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items via IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026. Geographic concentration appears across Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut, with food service procurement driven by state correctional and health facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services rather than specialty organic produce sourcing. The code taxonomy does not reflect procurement intent as it actually manifests in state and local solicitations.
