UNSPSC 50305015: Gou tou oranges

The variety of oranges known as gou tou oranges

UNSPSC 50305015 Gou tou oranges (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The source contains no solicitations specifically for Gou tou oranges or this UNSPSC code. Instead, recent opportunities tagged to or related to this code span a broad range of fresh produce, processed foods, beverages, and supplies for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional facilities across multiple states. The issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Meriden Public Schools, Central Point School District, Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Bryan County Schools), county and city governments (Edinburg Texas Parks & Recreation via the Boys & Girls Club, Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, San Antonio Department of Human Services, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, State of Georgia), and specialized procurement vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). The recent opportunities show a split between fresh produce procurements (the dominant category) and broader food-service bundles including frozen items, dairy, grains, condiments, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast—Georgia appears in roughly 20 of 32 recent opportunities—with secondary activity in Texas (Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, McAllen, Austin), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), and scattered single opportunities in Mississippi, Georgia, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 annual value; the Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward seasonal variety and local sourcing; the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas due March 4, 2026, with approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending; and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce due March 11, 2026, at $600,000 annual budget. School districts and food programs dominate as issuing bodies, with evaluation criteria consistently emphasizing cost (typically 30–50 points), product quality and freshness, delivery reliability, and compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food safety standards. This code, as presently named, appears misaligned with procurement activity—no recent opportunities specifically request Gou tou oranges, and the broader fresh produce and food-service category spans multiple UNSPSC codes.
