UNSPSC 50305034: Pummulo oranges

The variety of oranges known as pummulo oranges

UNSPSC 50305034 Pummulo oranges, a Commodity code, does not map to the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this code tag. Recent opportunities solicited under this code overwhelmingly cover fresh produce supply and delivery to institutional food service operations—school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care programs—rather than pummulo oranges specifically. The actual buying activity spans fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for meal programs, including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges (generic, not pummulos), potatoes, tomatoes, and dozens of other produce items sourced and delivered fresh to institutional locations. Issuing bodies include school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, DeSoto County School District, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), state corrections and mental health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), municipalities (City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg), counties (Collier County, DeSoto County), and nonprofit operators serving federal child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). The geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with activity scattered across other states.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to its Palestine facility (due October 19, 2026, via RFP), IW267420 for produce delivery to the Snyder Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026, via RFP), and IW267411 for produce delivery to the Wynne Food Warehouse in Huntsville (due October 14, 2026, via RFP); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting quotes for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026, RFQ); the Illinois Department of Mental Health seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for Madden Mental Health Center through small purchase procurement (due August 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District issuing RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal grant approval); and Bartow County School System requesting proposals for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). The code mismatch signals that the Commodity-level taxonomy entry does not reliably describe current procurement, and practitioners should filter opportunities by institutional food service demand signals rather than relying on code classification alone.
