UNSPSC 50304428: Nocatee tangelo oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as nocatee tangelo oranges

UNSPSC 50304428 Nocatee tangelo oranges is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to this specific product. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting Nocatee tangelos; instead, the code appears in records where produce procurement systems have applied it during broader fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing — particularly in school nutrition programs, child care agencies, and senior services. The actual buying under nominally related codes centers on mixed fresh produce line items (apples, bananas, oranges, citrus varieties, strawberries, and seasonal produce) sourced through school districts, food service departments, and nutrition programs across the country rather than on this single varietal. School districts and cooperative buying groups are the primary issuing bodies, with recent volume concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon based on activity from January through July 2026.

Diversion to concrete work actually being bought: Madison Metropolitan School District, Austin Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and the City of Meriden (Connecticut) solicited fresh produce and citrus through RFB, RFP, and ITB processes; the GEC Buying Cooperative (30 Georgia districts) and Head Start of Greater Dallas sought produce distribution on cost-plus and fixed-fee models; Bartow County Schools and Bulloch County Schools (Georgia) emphasized local sourcing within 200–400 miles. Specific tangelo procurement is not named in any recent notice. The code's abstract category name does not align with what state and local buyers are actually procuring right now—they are buying mixed fresh-produce portfolios, not single varietals, and when citrus appears it is typically grouped with oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit rather than isolated by cultivar. Pursuit of this code requires verification that your firm can supply tangelos as part of broader institutional produce distribution contracts; standalone tangelo procurement through state and local channels is not evident in the available recent opportunities.
