UNSPSC 50314412: Organic honey mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314412 Organic honey mandarin oranges (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity captured under this code. The source records show school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida soliciting comprehensive fresh produce and food service supply contracts—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, and beverages—but none of the opportunities explicitly name mandarin oranges, organic honey mandarin oranges, or any citrus variety as a primary commodity driver. One Georgia school district (Bulloch County) lists citrus varieties (Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, and Tangerines) within a 200-mile local sourcing requirement, and Hancock County schools specify citrus fruits broadly, but these appear as minor line items within larger fresh-produce portfolios rather than standalone procurement targets. The code itself nominally describes a specialized, organic-certified citrus fruit, yet the actual recent solicitations are demand-driven by school nutrition programs competing on total produce cost and service capability rather than on a single fruit item.

Solicitation activity concentrates heavily in Georgia school districts (Liberty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and early-stage initiatives) and extends into Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County), with contract values ranging from approximately $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas, annual) to $4.4 million (Douglas County cooperative multi-district produce aggregate). Most issuances are IFBs or RFPs with response deadlines clustering in late March through June 2026, typically for July 1 through June 30 contract terms. Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and domestic-sourcing preferences appear consistently; several districts (Austin ISD, Bartow County, Bulloch County) actively prefer or require local production within 200–400 miles. The code shows minimal recent activity as a standalone commodity and does not support a focused procurement strategy for vendors specializing in organic mandarin oranges absent a deliberate broadening to general fresh-produce supply contracts where this item could compete as one line among dozens.
