UNSPSC 50305027: Moro tarocco oranges

The variety of oranges known as moro tarocco oranges

UNSPSC 50305027 Moro tarocco oranges is a Commodity code capturing fresh citrus fruit procurement by state and local entities for institutional food service. State and local governments buy Moro tarocco oranges and other fresh produce under this code primarily as ingredients for correctional facilities, mental-health treatment centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, child care food programs, and food-service operations at county parks and recreational facilities. Recent solicitations show procurement spanning Texas correctional system food warehouses, Illinois correctional and mental-health facilities, school districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Texas, county senior services divisions, and Head Start and child care nutrition programs. The work is operational produce supply—multiple deliveries per week or month, with vendors expected to meet food-safety standards, maintain cold-chain logistics, and often comply with USDA or state nutrition regulations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school boards, county and city senior services departments, county parks departments, and non-profit child care and Head Start organizations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with scattered activity in other states.
