UNSPSC 50304417: Kinnow oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as kinnow oranges

UNSPSC 50304417 Kinnow oranges, a Commodity code, describes fresh citrus fruit supply to state and local institutions, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows no kinnow oranges specifically. Instead, state and local buying offices tag general fresh produce procurement—fruits, vegetables, and citrus—under this and related produce codes. The actual work involves supplying fresh fruits and vegetables to correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, senior services, mental health centers, regional parks, and other government and quasi-government food service operations. Vendors typically furnish produce meeting USDA quality standards, delivering on contracted schedules (often weekly or bi-weekly) to central warehouses or multiple school sites, with compliance to food safety regulations, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, and prevailing wage or local-vendor preferences where applicable.

State and local buyers issuing under produce codes include Texas and Illinois correctional and mental health departments, county and city school districts (Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin; Hancock County and Bartow County in Georgia; Bryan County, Dougherty County, and Early County in Georgia; DeSoto County in Mississippi; Bridgeport in Connecticut), county governments (Collier County, Florida), city procurement offices (San Antonio, Edinburg, and Bridgeport, Texas), and Head Start and senior services programs. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, issuing three separate fresh-produce solicitations between late September and mid-October 2026 for facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville. Recent opportunities span Texas (TDCJ Palestine IW267376, due October 19, 2026; TDCJ Snyder IW267420, due October 14, 2026; TDCJ Wynne IW267411, due October 14, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education BNB052266, due June 30, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026; Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019, deadline June 22, 2026), Florida (Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025), Georgia (Hancock County IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Dougherty County PE64710NONST2027000000078, due June 16, 2026; Bryan County PE55308NONST2027000000012, due May 27, 2026), Illinois (Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026; Illinois Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center 27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, due July 29, 2026), Mississippi (DeSoto County 3170035984, due June 22, 2026), and Connecticut (Bridgeport BNB052266, due June 30, 2026).

Buy American provisions, prevailing wage requirements, HACCP certification, and general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million per occurrence) are standard. Geographic and local-vendor preferences appear frequently—Wisconsin's Bartow County and Madison Metropolitan enforce 400-mile sourcing limits; Collier County and the City of Edinburg apply local-vendor scoring preferences; several Illinois and Georgia solicitations require farm-of-origin traceability and certified diverse-business documentation.
