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

UNSPSC 50394303 Organic big jim loquat purees is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and departmental supply. Recent opportunities posted under this code span canned fruit products, fresh produce, dried fruit items, and broader food-commodity buys rather than loquat purees specifically. State and local governments soliciting under the code include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), county human services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), city nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center in Connecticut), and state supported living centers. Issuing bodies range from small county procurement offices handling single-item food orders to state-level central purchasing divisions managing multi-category commodity contracts across multiple facilities and geographic regions.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and West, with solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut posted between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026 under IWQ 140229; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, USDA 2011 commodity specifications) with bids due July 31, 2026 under S2910000017453; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the district's central warehouse under RFP 27RFP004 with proposals due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services jointly issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products across 210 line items to serve state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, with a bid response deadline of March 19, 2026, and a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years under HHS0016792V2. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural commodity content (typically 51 percent for processed items) and state vendor-preference programs appear frequently; Oregon offers a combined 10 percent preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders), and Connecticut applies MBE/CBE certifications under city ordinance.
