UNSPSC 50304420: Malvasios oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as malvasios oranges

UNSPSC 50304420 Malvasios oranges, a Commodity code, describes fresh citrus fruit supply contracts that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, child care operations, and regional parks. State and local buyers source malvasios oranges as part of broader fresh produce procurement for meal programs; opportunities cite oranges alongside bananas, apples, lettuce, tomatoes, and other fresh fruits and vegetables in mixed-commodity RFPs and IFBs. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, municipal departments of human services, and special-purpose food service coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple fresh produce solicitations in September and October 2026 for food warehouse supply; Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health also actively solicit fresh produce for institutional dining. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, DeSoto County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) have issued recent produce bids tied to National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meal service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin in the past four months, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, and South Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW267376, Fresh Fruit & Vegetables–Palestine (RFP, due October 19, 2026) and IW267420, Fresh fruit and vegetables for TDCJ Snyder Food Warehouse (RFP, due October 14, 2026); Illinois Department of Corrections 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, Fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ, due September 3, 2026, with small business set-aside); Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163, Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (RFB, due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles and offering 5% preference on diverse-owned business status); and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027, Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026, with Buy American requirement). Pricing in school nutrition contracts ranges from $78,000 annually (Madison petite bananas) to $969,460.94 estimated value (Head Start of Greater Dallas grocery products covering 32,409 cases). Correctional and mental health facility procurement typically carries prevailing wage and mandatory insurance requirements; school district contracts frequently include local-vendor geographic preferences, diverse-owned business incentives, and Federal Buy American compliance obligations.
