UNSPSC 50305029: Navelina oranges

The variety of oranges known as navelina oranges

UNSPSC 50305029 Navelina oranges is a Commodity code for a specific citrus fruit variant commonly procured by state and local governments as part of broader food-service supply contracts. Recent activity shows the code represents a line item within institutional food procurement rather than a standalone category—navelina oranges appear as one produce option among dozens of fruit and vegetable items in school nutrition, correctional-facility, senior-services, and child-care meal programs. The issuing bodies include Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facilities, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, state school districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas, county boards of education, municipal school systems, Head Start agencies, city senior-services divisions, and correctional health centers. Most opportunities cluster around school nutrition programs procuring fresh produce on annual or multi-year cycles aligned to fiscal or academic calendars.

Recent procurement activity concentrates heavily in Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include TDCJ requests for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (RFQ IW267376 and IW267420, due October 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB 4162 ($78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026), Bartow County Schools' local fresh produce RFP requiring 400-mile sourcing (due June 22, 2026), and DeSoto County School District's fresh produce distribution for 41 school sites on a cost-plus-fee model (due June 22, 2026). The Dougherty County Board of Education solicited 40 produce line items including oranges (bids due June 16, 2026), and Hancock County Schools procured over 200 citrus, berry, and vegetable line items (bids due June 26, 2026). Most contracts run July through June aligned to school years; pricing typically includes delivery, no fuel surcharges, and Net 30 to 45 payment terms. Buy American provisions are standard in school nutrition procurements; local-sourcing and diverse-vendor preferences appear regularly in Georgia school districts and Texas municipalities.
