UNSPSC 50305037: Salustianas oranges

The variety of oranges known as salustianas oranges

UNSPSC 50305037, Salustianas oranges, is a Commodity code that sits within a broad taxonomy of fresh fruit procurement. In practice, state and local governments use this code to tag solicitations for fresh produce supply and delivery to institutional food service operations—primarily school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and regional parks. Recent activity shows that buyers are soliciting produce through multiple notice types (RFB, RFP, ITN, IFB) and often bundle oranges and other citrus with broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, city departments of human services, and independent school districts. Institutional buyers emphasize compliance with food safety standards (HACCP plans, USDA Buy American provisions where applicable), product quality and freshness guarantees, delivery frequency and temperature control, and pricing firm for extended contract periods. Vendors typically must carry commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence) and workers' compensation coverage.

Recent solicitations cluster in the Southeast and Midwest, with the highest concentration in Georgia and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-produce RFQs since late September 2026 (solicitations IW267420, IW267411, and IW267376 for food warehouses in Snyder, Huntsville, and Palestine), reflecting steady institutional demand. School districts dominate the volume: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce including citrus, apples, and berries; Bryan County School Nutrition (Georgia) conducted a sealed bid for fresh produce due May 27, 2026; Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) bid petite bananas and fresh-fruit snacks due July 29, 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center) requested bi-weekly fresh-produce deliveries under small-business set-aside due September 3, 2026. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN for food services including produce concessions at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025. The City of San Antonio (Texas) posted an RFP for produce-market operations at senior centers due May 27, 2026. Contract values where disclosed range from $78,000 annually (Madison Metropolitan petite bananas) to $969,460.94 (Head Start of Greater Dallas grocery procurement including produce). Most contracts run from July 1 through June 30 of the following year, aligned with school and fiscal calendars, with one-year renewal options common.
