UNSPSC 50314406: Organic fairchild oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314406 Organic fairchild oranges is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single citrus product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities recorded under this code show little alignment with organic fairchild oranges specifically. Instead, the tagged solicitations overwhelmingly procure fresh produce broadly — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus varieties, and prepared produce items — for school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch between the code's narrow product name and the actual scope of solicitations tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a proxy for fresh fruit and vegetable procurement at the school nutrition level. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from Madison Metropolitan School District, Douglas County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Glynn County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and others across Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. The work being solicited consists primarily of weekly or twice-weekly delivery of fresh produce — in bulk cases or pre-cut ready-to-eat formats — to multiple school sites under annual fixed-price or cost-plus-fee contracts, often tied to USDA Child Nutrition Program funding and Buy American domestic-sourcing requirements.

Geographic spread centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Glynn County Board of Education solicited fresh produce under IFB 27-02 (sealed bids due April 14, 2026) for 16 school locations; Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to 30 school districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District posted two separate RFBs in July 2026 — one for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) with estimated annual value of $78,000, and another for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due July 29, 2026) with geographic sourcing requirements within 400 miles and a $0.20 per pound preference discount on organic produce. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages (due March 11, 2026), explicitly prohibiting third-party logistics providers and requiring direct commercial distribution capacity. The code shows consistent quarterly activity from school nutrition programs, with response dates clustering in late March through April and mid-July 2026, indicating seasonal procurement cycles tied to school year contracting and mid-year extension renewals.
