UNSPSC 50304437: Sampson tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50304437 Sampson tangelo oranges is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity primarily through child nutrition and school food service programs that intermittently source citrus products as line items within broader fresh-produce or meal-supply solicitations. The source material shows no recent opportunities specifically dedicated to Sampson tangelo oranges as a standalone procurement; instead, the code surfaces tangentially in comprehensive produce specifications that reference citrus varieties (oranges, citrus fruits, tangerines, Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas) as components of larger fresh-fruit purchases for school districts and child-care agencies. State and local buying bodies conducting the identified fresh-produce procurements include school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Austin Independent School District in Texas; Central Point School District in Oregon; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), child-care and Head Start programs (City of Edinburg CACFP program, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and cooperative purchasing consortiums (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts), plus miscellaneous local entities (DeSoto County School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education, and County of Santa Clara detention food services).

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut, with lighter activity in Oregon, Mississippi, and California. Representative recent solicitations show fresh-produce procurement dominant in the 2026 first half: Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including citrus (June 26, 2026 deadline), Bulloch County School District issued IFP for locally-grown produce including Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, and Tangerines (May 4, 2026 deadline), and Dougherty County Board of Education issued sealed bids for fresh produce including oranges (June 16, 2026 deadline). These solicitations typically employ RFB or IFB notice types, award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis, run annual contract terms from July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, and emphasize domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance, and HACCP food-safety certification. Sampson tangelos do not appear as a named variety in any identified opportunity; current procurement activity treats citrus generically as "oranges" or "citrus fruits," suggesting limited or negligible current-market demand for this specific cultivar within state and local food service at the institutional scale.
