UNSPSC 50305026: Moro oranges

The variety of oranges known as moro oranges

UNSPSC 50305026 Moro oranges, a Commodity code, is rarely solicited by state and local government agencies on its own; recent opportunities reflect broader school nutrition and institutional food service procurement where moro oranges appear as one line item among dozens of produce categories rather than standalone citrus contracts. The code captures what districts and municipalities actually buy: fresh citrus fruits integrated into child nutrition programs, senior services meal delivery, institutional cafeterias, and correctional facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeated activity from Georgia school systems (Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) alongside activity in Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, City of Edinburg), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County Schools), and Oregon (Central Point School District). A single Georgia buying cooperative (GEC Cooperative) aggregates demand across 30 districts, and Head Start agencies, senior center operators, and correctional facilities round out the buyer base.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, which shows heavy competitive solicitation for fresh produce contracts under both IFB and RFP formats throughout the 2026–2027 school year. Texas school districts and special-purpose agencies (including the City of Edinburg's CACFP program and Head Start of Greater Dallas) represent the secondary geographic cluster. Representative opportunities include the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP (Douglas County School System administering; 30 districts across Georgia; proposals due March 4, 2026; estimated annual market of $5.5 million), Bulloch County Board of Education's fresh produce and local-produce RFPs (sealed bids due May 4, 2026; farm-to-school emphasis), and McAllen ISD's Child Nutrition Program fresh produce RFP (proposals due March 6, 2026; approximately 20,000 students across 31 campuses). Most solicitations require strict USDA compliance including Buy American certification (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP documentation, food safety certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million. Contract awards typically run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with options for multi-year renewal, and evaluation often emphasizes cost (30–50 points) alongside vendor qualifications, product quality, and delivery reliability.
