UNSPSC 50384705: Early red loquat purees

The variety of loquats known as early red loquats which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384705 Early red loquat purees (Commodity) covers prepared fruit products for state and local food service operations, though the recent opportunity record shows little specific demand for loquat purees themselves—instead, state and local governments buy a broader mix of fruit products including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce. The code sits within agricultural commodity food procurement typically driven by corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and county social services operations. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state education and county school systems (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Recent solicitations emphasize competitive bidding on shelf-stable, canned, frozen, and fresh fruit items with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity standards, and supply to centralized distribution centers or facility-level food services.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut, with scattered representation across additional states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), establishing recurring institutional demand at approximately 1,900–4,700 cases per procurement cycle; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, closed March 19, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested fresh produce including apple varieties and berries for school year 2026–27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026) sought canned shelf-stable food items for senior services, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued a commodities bid covering eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products for school nutrition (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions and domestic-content thresholds (51 percent for processed items) appear consistently across school districts and state agencies. The code shows measurable institutional food-service activity but no recent solicitations specifically naming loquat purees, indicating either narrow demand or code misclassification for this particular product line.
