UNSPSC 50304431: Page mandarin oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as page mandarin oranges

UNSPSC 50304431 Page mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that spans fresh fruit and vegetable procurement across institutional food service and child nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities show purchases of fresh produce for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, mental health facilities, county parks concessions, and child care programs. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, county school districts, county boards of education, municipal parks and recreation divisions, state mental health facilities, and special-purpose health coalitions. Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi dominate recent activity, with repeated solicitations from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for facility food warehouses and multiple Georgia school districts sourcing produce on annual cycles.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the code's scope: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery to a correctional facility in Palestine, Texas (due October 19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas in 150-count case packs at specified ripeness grades with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for the period September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Bryan County Schools (Georgia) issued a sealed bid solicitation for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, and specialty items with bids due May 27, 2026; and DeSoto County School District (Mississippi) solicited fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites under a bi-annual fixed-fee plus reimbursable-cost model with bids due June 22, 2026. State Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content (commonly 51 percent) and compliance with USDA nutrition standards (CACFP, National School Lunch Program, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program) are standard. Local-vendor preferences appear in multiple jurisdictions—Collier County offered 10 evaluation points for vendors within county boundaries, Madison Metropolitan applied a 5 percent preference for Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles, and Bartow County required sourcing within 400 miles of the school system.
