UNSPSC 50304407: Fallglo oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as fallglo oranges

UNSPSC 50304407 Fallglo oranges is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for Fallglo oranges or any branded citrus variety. Instead, the 22 posted solicitations target fresh produce (mixed fruit and vegetable assortments, bananas, berries, apples, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items) and grocery staples for school nutrition programs, child care food service, and correctional facilities. One Georgia solicitation names fresh produce generically without identifying the issuing body. The code's nominal scope—a single branded orange variety—does not match the institutional food service demand evident in recent procurement, which emphasizes commodity-grade fresh produce in bulk case quantities, mixed-variety offerings, and compliance with USDA school lunch and child care regulations.

School districts and school food authorities dominate recent activity, with solicitations from Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Madison Metropolitan School District, DeSoto County School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, and others primarily in Georgia and the upper Midwest. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), City of San Antonio, City of Meriden Public Schools, and county child-care agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg) round out the mix. Procurement vehicles include sealed bids (IFB), RFPs, and cooperative purchasing arrangements (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value estimated at $78,000, due July 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce line items including Fuji and other apple varieties across 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026), and GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 covering approximately 72 produce items across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated combined annual spending of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity and should not be pursued without evidence that a specific issuing body is soliciting Fallglo oranges by name or specification.
