UNSPSC 50304414: Honey tangerines

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as honey tangerines

UNSPSC 50304414 Honey tangerines, a Commodity code, appears in state and local school nutrition and child care procurement but represents a narrow slice of the fresh produce spending these jurisdictions conduct. Recent opportunities show school districts, school food authorities, and child care agencies buying comprehensive produce portfolios—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and seasonal fruits—as part of meal programs serving hundreds to thousands of students and children daily. Honey tangerines, a specialty citrus item, surface only as line items within much larger fresh-produce RFPs and ITBs, never as standalone buys. School nutrition programs and CACFP meal services are the dominant issuing bodies, with scattered activity from county school systems, independent school districts, and Head Start organizations across the South and Southwest.

The geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, with recent activity from Hancock County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative (30 districts across two Georgia areas), alongside procurement from school districts in Texas (McAllen, Austin), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Oregon (Central Point), and isolated activity in Mississippi and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (#SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) listing over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, citrus fruits, and root vegetables; the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 produce line items for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas; and Bulloch County's Invitation for Proposal for local produce (due May 4, 2026) specifying 24 items including Satsumas and Tangerines sourced within 200 miles. None of these solicitations isolate honey tangerines as a distinct procurement category, and response activity under UNSPSC 50304414 specifically cannot be confirmed from the source.
