UNSPSC 50304414: Honey tangerines

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as honey tangerines

UNSPSC 50304414 Honey tangerines is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure honey tangerines as a distinct line item; the recent opportunities in this dataset show no direct solicitations for the product. Instead, the code appears mislabeled or misapplied in state and local procurement systems. The active procurement activity associated with this code tier targets fresh produce broadly — fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional and mental-health facility meal support. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Bartow County, Early County in Georgia; Collier County Florida), city school systems (Bridgeport), and other local agencies (Head Start programs, senior services divisions, county parks departments). Texas and Georgia dominate recent activity, with school nutrition procurement appearing most frequently across the dataset.

Recent solicitations show the actual work being bought: Texas Department of Criminal Justice posts multiple RFQs for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses serving correctional facilities (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411), with response dates in October 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District issued back-to-back RFBs for petite bananas ($78,000 estimated value, bid due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin sourcing and ready-to-eat packaging (RFB 4163, July 29, 2026 deadline). Multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County) bid fresh produce for school nutrition on an itemized, case-quantity basis, with contracts running the fiscal school year and multiple one-year renewal options. Illinois Department of Mental Health and Illinois Department of Corrections each issued small-purchase RFQs for fresh-produce supply (August 2026 deadlines). The City of Edinburg, Texas solicited CACFP meal-program supply including produce for 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, August 4 deadline). Head Start of Greater Dallas procured approximately 32,409 cases of frozen and fresh produce for child care (IFB 26-GP, June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94). Collier County, Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food concessions at a regional park, with local-vendor preference and a 180-day proposal validity period. Most school-district procurements apply Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content minimum), require HACCP plans, mandate weekly or bi-weekly delivery to multiple sites, include general liability and workers' compensation insurance minimums ($500,000 to $1,000,000), and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or permit multiple-vendor awards.
