UNSPSC 50304425: Murcott tangors

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as murcott tangors

UNSPSC 50304425 Murcott tangors is a Commodity code covering fresh citrus fruit supply to state and local institutional food service operations. State and local procurement under this code centers on fresh produce delivery to correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, and child nutrition programs, with contracts requiring compliance with food safety standards, USDA sourcing preferences, delivery frequency commitments, and temperature-controlled logistics. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school nutrition programs, county boards of education, city senior services divisions, and regional health care coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, and multiple Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers in recent solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with the heaviest volume in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to the Palestine facility (due October 19, 2026, solicitation IW267376), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, small-business set-aside), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000, solicitation RFB 4162), and Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026, solicitation PE64710NONST2027000000078). Buy American provisions, prevailing wage compliance in some jurisdictions, local-vendor preferences (notably Wisconsin and Georgia school districts), and small-business set-asides characterize the competitive environment. Delivery timelines typically range from bi-weekly to daily, with temperature control and HACCP documentation required across most institutional customers.
