UNSPSC 50384703: Big jim loquat purees

The variety of loquats known as big jim loquats which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384703 Big jim loquat purees (Commodity) represents a narrow food-service ingredient category that state and local governments source as part of broader food procurement — but the recent opportunities associated with this code show minimal alignment with loquat purees and instead reflect sourcing of mainstream canned fruit products, fresh produce, and general food supplies across institutional food service contexts. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County), and local jurisdictions (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts dominate recent activity, competing on annual contracts to supply child nutrition programs with fresh produce, frozen foods, and packaged items under firm fixed-price terms. State corrections and health facilities also appear regularly, sourcing food through IFBs and RFQs with volumes in the thousands of cases. Pricing is consistently quoted per-unit or per-case on an FOB destination basis, with firm fixed pricing for contract periods running July-to-June school-year cycles or full fiscal years, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses within required time windows (typically 7–45 days).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts, Texas health and corrections facilities), Upper Midwest (Missouri school districts), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, under OregonBuys with 10% Oregon preference), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (weekly delivery to 45 schools, due April 27, 2026, minimum 76 items required), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts (approximately $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026), and Dallas ISD RFP JC250079 for supplemental food products including spice and ice cream lots (due April 2, 2026, through Bonfire). Buy American requirements apply across school district procurements (minimum 51% domestic content for processed products). The code shows active state and local demand for food supply but limited specificity to loquat purees — recent opportunities reflect commodity fruit (applesauce, canned pears, fresh produce), not specialty or regional ingredients.
