UNSPSC 50304420: Malvasios oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as malvasios oranges

UNSPSC 50304420 Malvasios oranges, a Commodity code, does not map to meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single citrus variety, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations tagged to this code seeking malvasios oranges specifically. Instead, the block contains eighteen school nutrition, senior services, and county detention procurement notices spanning fresh produce, groceries, and related food items—none of which name malvasios or reference this commodity in their scope descriptions. The few opportunities that do mention citrus items (such as Hancock County Schools' produce RFP, which lists apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruits, and specialty items, or Glynn County's fresh produce IFB covering multiple produce lines) are tagged to broader produce codes and do not isolate or prioritize malvasios oranges as a distinct line item or contract focus.

State and local procurement under this code shows no active market signal. The recent opportunities—dominated by school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and California, along with a handful of county detention and senior services food procurements—reflect demand for commodity fresh produce, eggs, groceries, and beverages to serve elementary through secondary students, seniors, and institutional populations. Soliciting bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Austin, Hillsborough County, Meriden Public Schools), county boards of education (Hancock County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Liberty County, and others), cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts), and county detention facilities (Santa Clara). None of these opportunities identify malvasios oranges by name, and none appear to treat this variety as a preferred or specified product. The breadth and volume of school nutrition food service contracting across the South and Southwest—where many opportunities offer multi-year terms, cost-plus and fixed-price models, and estimated annual values ranging from $78,000 to $3.1 million—suggests robust institutional demand for citrus and fresh produce generally, but no detectable specialization in or preference for malvasios specifically. Pursuit under this code is not recommended without first confirming whether specific issuing bodies have identified malvasios oranges in their produce specifications or commodity lists.
