UNSPSC 50304407: Fallglo oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as fallglo oranges

UNSPSC 50304407 Fallglo oranges is a Commodity code that captures fresh citrus fruit procurement for institutional food service — chiefly school districts, corrections agencies, mental health facilities, and senior services programs. State and local governments buy fallglo oranges as part of broader fresh-produce supply contracts for child nutrition programs (CACFP, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), correctional facility dining, healthcare facility meals, and aging-services meal delivery. The code appears in mixed-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations where fallglo oranges anchor the citrus line items rather than standing alone; recent opportunities cite fallglo specifically alongside apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, and lettuce. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with corrections departments, mental health facilities, and county social services agencies also actively buying. Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Wisconsin show recent procurement activity. Contracts typically run annual cycles (July 1–June 30 school year alignment) with firm pricing, delivery-frequency mandates (bi-weekly to weekly), and Buy American or domestic-sourcing preferences built into award criteria.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation IW267376 (Fresh Fruit & Vegetables–Palestine) with proposals due October 19, 2026 via the TDCJ Procurement Portal; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, fresh produce including citrus, bids due June 26, 2026); Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program in Georgia (fresh-produce bids due June 16, 2026, covering 40 line items including oranges); and Bartow County School System in Georgia (Request for Proposal 10-2026-019, local fresh fruits and vegetables, proposals due June 22, 2026). School districts typically weight cost at 30–40%, product quality and compliance at 20–35%, and delivery/traceability capability at 10–25%. Insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability and HACCP documentation are standard. Seasonal volume swings reflect school-year calendars and summer-program demand; contracts often include one to four one-year renewal options. No set-asides or preference programs appear consistently across the opportunities, though diverse-owned business certifications sometimes earn 5 evaluation points when present.
