UNSPSC 50374300: Canned or jarred organic loquats

The type of organic fruit known as organic loquats that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374300 Canned or jarred organic loquats is a Class code covering shelf-stable fruit preserves and specialty canned produce items that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows a far broader scope than loquats alone: state and local buyers are purchasing canned and jarred fruits (applesauce, mixed fruit), dried fruit products (bars, crisps), and supplemental food and consumable items across dozens of line items per procurement. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia state procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and county commissions (Gwinnett County, Hancock County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-supported facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts and correctional or social-service agencies appear to be the primary repeat buyers.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West, with multiple solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award to Robbins Sales in June 2026 at $21.84 per case, with a July 31, 2026 bid deadline); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, bid deadline March 19, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces (October 19, 2026 deadline); and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (July 16, 2026 deadline). Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery to specified locations, compliance with USDA commodity specifications or Buy American provisions, and commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million.
