UNSPSC 50374304: Canned or jarred organic champagne loquats

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

UNSPSC 50374304, Canned or jarred organic champagne loquats, is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity describes shelf-stable, branded or equivalent fruit and vegetable products supplied to institutional food-service operations—schools, senior centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. The actual work being bought under this code spans fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, dried fruit snacks, frozen proteins, dairy products, and miscellaneous kitchen consumables rather than organic loquats specifically; state and local food-service procurement uses the code to tag broadly categorized perishable and shelf-stable commodity buys. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, city school districts, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts. The mix reflects routine food-service contracting across multiple institutional sectors, with repeat buyers such as the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon Department of Corrections, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting quarterly or annual awards.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two competitive ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,700 cases per cycle) with June and July 2026 response dates; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple RFPs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with August and June 2026 due dates; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFBs for food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (estimated prior-period value $1.5 million) with July 2026 response deadlines; Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 due date; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids on 115 line items of mixed commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, posted an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions with a May 4, 2026 response date. Most awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a per-unit or per-case basis, with FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and compliance with USDA standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and state prevailing wage and insurance requirements.
