UNSPSC 50314403: Organic cleopatra mandarin oranges

The variety of organic mandarin oranges and tangerines known as organic cleopatra mandarin oranges

UNSPSC 50314403 Organic cleopatra mandarin oranges (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local school districts and education agencies are the primary soliciting bodies under this code, but recent opportunities posted between February and July 2026 consistently request broader fresh produce categories rather than specific citrus varieties. The representative solicitations—from Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 and 4163, July 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, June 2026), and numerous Georgia school systems including Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Bulloch County—all solicit comprehensive fresh fruit and vegetable assortments spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and other produce families rather than mandarin oranges by variety. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement need; school nutrition programs buy produce on annual and multi-year contracts to supply National School Lunch Programs and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, but they do not typically isolate specific mandarin citrus cultivars as separate line items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional recent procurement from Texas (McAllen Independent School District RFP 2026-1029, March 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034, February 2026) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST, April 2026). School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix across all recent opportunities. Solicitation methods include RFBs, RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs with response dates ranging from March through July 2026. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 the following year with renewal options. The code shows no specialized activity, set-asides, or vendor restrictions in the recent record; standard procurement terms include Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, liability insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on jurisdiction), and price-holding clauses with annual redetermination tied to USDA market reports or Consumer Price Index data. Pursuit under this code is not recommended without confirmation that a specific school district or food service operation is actively bidding mandarin oranges as an isolated commodity line.
