UNSPSC 50304440: Tangelos

The fruit of a hybrid between a tangerine or mandarin orange and a grapefruit

UNSPSC 50304440 Tangelos is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not currently buy tangelos under this code; the recent opportunities block contains no relevant solicitations for this commodity. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect a broad pattern of fresh-produce procurement across school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and senior services, spanning items such as petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, apples, berries, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, dried fruits, nuts, and eggs—but no tangelos. The source data shows no recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity specifically requesting tangelos from any state agency, county, city, school district, transit authority, or special-purpose district.

The mismatch suggests either that tangelo procurement is sparse or dormant at the state and local level, or that recent opportunities have been tagged to this code in error. The activity visible under the code reflects general fresh-produce distribution for institutional meal service, not citrus specialty items. Firms pursuing this code should verify current demand through direct outreach to school nutrition departments, child care program administrators, and senior services coordinators in target states—primarily Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Utah, and Oregon, where the bulk of recent produce procurement activity has posted—before investing in baseline compliance, pricing models, or pre-bid engagement.
