UNSPSC 50305004: Bahianinha oranges

The variety of oranges known as bahianinha oranges

UNSPSC 50305004 Bahianinha oranges is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—primarily through food service and school nutrition programs—and this code nominally identifies a single produce item. In practice, the recent opportunities tagged to this code show that state and local food procurement spans far broader produce categories than the code name suggests. Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities, Illinois Department of Corrections, school districts, county health departments, and municipal food programs are all issuing solicitations for fresh produce supply and delivery, with scopes that include apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and dozens of other items rather than Bahianinha oranges specifically. The actual work involves weekly or bi-weekly delivery of fresh produce meeting USDA quality standards, compliance with food safety regulations (HACCP plans, traceability by farm of origin), temperature-controlled transport, and often specialized handling such as ready-to-eat processing for school snack programs. Issuing bodies range from state prison and mental health facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections) to county school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, Early County, DeSoto County, Bartow County, Dougherty County), municipal senior services (City of San Antonio), child care organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education, Madison Metropolitan).

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with significant secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to a Palestine, Texas facility (response due October 19, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 (bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (bids due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). School districts and state facilities frequently impose Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural commodity content (typically 51 percent), geographic sourcing preferences (particularly Wisconsin, Georgia, and Texas school districts), and diversity certifications. Insurance requirements typically run $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence. Contract terms vary from three months to one year with renewal options; most school nutrition procurements run July 1 through June 30 aligned to the school year.
