UNSPSC 50304416: King mandarin oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as king mandarin oranges

UNSPSC 50304416 King mandarin oranges is a Commodity code, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows almost no recent relevant opportunity volume. Of the 27 recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source, only one—a June 2026 Texas solicitation for fresh produce distribution to Joliet Treatment Center—explicitly names mandarin oranges or any specific citrus variety in the scope. The remaining 26 opportunities cover broad fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable, and grocery-item categories without calling out king mandarins or mandarin oranges by name. The buying activity under this code spans produce supply to correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County), child care and meal programs (CACFP, Head Start), senior centers (City of San Antonio), and regional parks (Collier County). Issuing bodies include state departments, county school districts, city procurement offices, and special-purpose entities. No issuing body posts multiple solicitations tagged to this code, and no vendor name or award history is disclosed.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued four separate fresh produce solicitations in September and October 2026 (Snyder Food Warehouse, Wynne Food Warehouse, Palestine facility) with response dates of October 14 and October 19, 2026, none of which names mandarin oranges or citrus specifically in available documentation. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) with no citrus specification. Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) lists over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and leafy greens, with no king mandarin or citrus specification visible. The code itself appears to be a narrow commodity classification—specific to a single produce variety—that does not align with the broad, multi-line produce buys actually occurring under its tag in state and local procurement right now. Vendors pursuing produce supply in this market should focus on the broader fresh-produce and food-service categories where the actual volume and frequency of solicitation occurs.
