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 encompasses citrus fruits procured by state and local education and social service agencies to support child nutrition programs, though the code shows minimal direct recent activity. The single recent opportunity specifically tagged to this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP Meal Program supplies—names mandarin oranges implicitly within its broader fresh-fruit category alongside other produce, beverages, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items required to serve approximately 400 children daily ages 1-18 for nine months at a local vendor preference of 5 percent within Edinburg. The scope of work under this code reflects what school districts, child care agencies, and senior nutrition programs actually buy: single-serve or portion-controlled fresh citrus fruit suitable for institutional meal service, meeting CACFP and National School Lunch Program regulatory standards, and delivered on weekly or as-needed schedules.

State and local procurement activity in fresh produce—the broader family encompassing mandarin oranges and other citrus—concentrates heavily among Georgia school districts, with recent sealed-bid and RFP solicitations posted by Dougherty County Board of Education (June 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (June 2026), Bryan County Schools (April 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (March 2026), Glynn County Board of Education (March 2026), Bulloch County School District (April 2026 for local produce), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (March 2026), Henry County Schools (March 2026), and Muscogee County School District (March 2026). Outside Georgia, recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin (petite bananas and fresh fruit snacks, July 2026; RFBs 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida (USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, RFP due March 11, 2026), Austin Independent School District in Texas (fresh produce and beverages, RFP due March 11, 2026), and multi-district cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts (RFP due March 4, 2026). The majority of issuing bodies are school nutrition programs within K–12 districts; smaller numbers of solicitations involve child care food programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas; City of Edinburg CACFP) and senior nutrition services (San Antonio senior center produce distribution, RFP due May 27, 2026). Geographic concentration in Georgia reflects both the cluster of school district activity and the use of state-level procurement platforms. The code itself shows limited standalone recent opportunities; mandarin oranges appear as one line item within comprehensive fresh-produce or grocery-item bids that span dozens of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and supplies, making isolation of citrus-specific procurement activity difficult from the public record.
