UNSPSC 50374311: Canned or jarred organic tanaka loquats

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

UNSPSC 50374311 Canned or jarred organic tanaka loquats (Commodity) sees minimal direct procurement activity under state and local jurisdictions; the code as narrowly defined does not align with the food-service solicitations actually being issued. State and local governments procure shelf-stable and canned fruits far more broadly — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed canned vegetables — than the single specialized commodity this code names. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state corrections and health departments, school districts, and municipal government, with solicitations framed as open food-service buys rather than searches for a specific fruit variety. Recent opportunities reflect purchasing for institutional food service: cafeteria and nutrition programs in schools, senior services, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with individual solicitations ranging from under 1,000 cases (Gwinnett County's 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable foods for senior services, due October 19, 2026, IWQ 140229) to multi-thousand-case volumes (Oregon Department of Corrections' 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historically). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) encompassed 210 line items statewide across state hospitals and supported living centers with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million. The code's narrow focus on tanaka loquats specifically does not surface in any recent opportunity; vendors competing for canned-fruit institutional business should track broader commodity codes and general food-service RFPs, IFBs, and RFQs rather than rely on this single-product classification.
