UNSPSC 50374310: Canned or jarred organic strawberry loquats

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

UNSPSC 50374310 Canned or jarred organic strawberry loquats is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable, ready-to-consume fruit products preserved in cans or jars. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and supported living centers — where bulk purchase of standardized, long-shelf-life fruit products supports meal planning and food-service operations. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education and social services (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-operated institutions. Most solicitations target canned applesauce and mixed fruit products rather than the strawberry-loquat variant named in the code; the recent opportunities show strong activity in institutional fruit procurement broadly, with multiple state corrections and human-services agencies issuing concurrent or sequential bids for similar preserved-fruit line items.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut), with the most visible solicitation volume originating from state prison and institutional health-care systems. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem by July 31, 2026 (S2910000017453); Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including canned fruit across state hospitals and living centers with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026 and a potential three-year contract value of $4,500,000 (HHS0016792V2); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins with delivery by December 7, 2026 (PE77023NONST2027000000782); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly basis with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751, both due August 24, 2026). Buy American provisions, domestic-content requirements, and state product preferences appear in school and state-agency food procurements; pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract term with unit-based evaluation favoring the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
