UNSPSC 50374309: Canned or jarred organic mrs cooksey loquats

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

UNSPSC 50374309 Canned or jarred organic Mrs Cooksey loquats (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity the code nominally describes. While the code name specifies a branded canned loquat product, state and local buyers soliciting under this code are actually purchasing broad shelf-stable and fresh food categories for nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services. The scope spans canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, and miscellaneous food-service commodities—none of which are loquat products or specifically branded Mrs Cooksey items. Issuing bodies include county boards of education and nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments of corrections and health and human services (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), and county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). The code shows activity across multiple states including Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with buyers pursuing both single-award and multi-award structures for annual or quarterly food service contracts.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case (historical award to Robbins Sales in June 2026) with bids due July 31, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 response deadline; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, leafy greens, specialty items) for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear in school nutrition and state health procurement; Oregon offers 5 percent preferences for in-state goods and bidders; and Texas entities apply SmartBuy administrative fees. The code shows little genuine recent activity in the branded loquat category itself—sourcing and pricing intelligence under this code should rely on broader commodity food procurement patterns rather than the specific product name.
