UNSPSC 50305042: Tunis oranges

The variety of oranges known as tunis oranges

UNSPSC 50305042 Tunis oranges, a Commodity code, does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains 28 solicitations posted between January 2026 and July 2026, none of which specifically procure Tunis oranges or other named citrus varieties at a commodity level; instead, they request broad fresh produce categories for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional food service. The one opportunity explicitly mentioning oranges—Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (posted June 10, 2026, response due June 26, 2026)—lists oranges as a single line item among 200+ produce SKUs, not as a specialized procurement target. Activity under this code appears negligible for business development purposes.

The issuing bodies span a diverse public sector: primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Bryan County, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and others across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Florida, and Oregon), along with municipal and county child nutrition programs, Head Start agencies, and special districts such as Santa Clara County correctional food service and the San Antonio Senior Services Division. Cooperative purchasing consortia—notably the GEC Buying Cooperative representing 40 Georgia school districts—also solicit produce at volume scale. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative solicitations show produce procurement as bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food and supply items rather than as standalone citrus awards: the City of Bridgeport Board of Education issued BID BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) for 1,100+ grocery line items; Meriden Public Schools RFP02641 (due February 25, 2026) sought commercial groceries and USDA Foods with annual contract value near $3.1 million; and the GEC Buying Cooperative SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) invited bids for approximately 72 produce SKUs including multiple apple and citrus varieties across 30 districts in two geographic areas with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million. Citrus appears only as a commodity subitem within broader fresh-produce line-item buys, not as a named-variety or premium-positioning procurement strategy.
