UNSPSC 50305027: Moro tarocco oranges

The variety of oranges known as moro tarocco oranges

UNSPSC 50305027 Moro tarocco oranges is a Commodity code that covers fresh specialty citrus fruits, particularly varieties like the Moro tarocco orange specified in the code name. However, state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent relevant purchasing. The available opportunities indicate that school districts, municipalities, and nonprofit food service organizations procuring fresh produce and specialty fruits do so predominantly through broader commodity categories—purchasing mixed-fresh-produce baskets, bulk citrus assortments, or frozen fruit products rather than single varietal citrus items. School nutrition programs acquire Moro taroccos, when ordered, as line items within larger fresh-produce contracts covering dozens of items spanning apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and other staple produce. The City of Bridgeport's grocery RFP (BNB052266), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana bid (RFB 4162), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program solicitation (26039RFPDST) each reference fresh citrus within comprehensive produce or food-service portfolios rather than targeting specific orange varieties as standalone line items.

Geographic activity centers in Georgia and Texas, where school districts, child nutrition programs, and senior services conduct regular fresh-produce procurement. Issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, and others in Georgia), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio), and nonprofit organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce bid (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), which lists over 200 produce line items with specific quantities for apple varieties, berries, and citrus; Bartow County School System's local fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFP (PE55391NONST2026000000027, due June 22, 2026), emphasizing sourcing within 400 miles; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's statewide Georgia fresh-produce-and-eggs procurement (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with approximately $5.5 million in combined annual spending. These solicitations treat citrus fruits, including oranges, as commodity-level produce items priced competitively against other fruits within blended produce contracts, not as specialty single-varietal line items commanding premium pricing or standalone procurement.
