UNSPSC 50314415: Organic honeybelle tangelo oranges

The variety of organic mandarin oranges and tangerines known as organic honeybelle tangelo oranges

UNSPSC 50314415 Organic honeybelle tangelo oranges is a Commodity code. The code nominally describes citrus fruit, but state and local governments are not soliciting tangelos under this taxonomy. Recent opportunities posted under the code diverge sharply from its scope: the two solicitations explicitly tagged to this code—Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (Petite Bananas, due July 29, 2026) and Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 (Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks, due July 29, 2026)—involve bananas and mixed fresh produce, not tangelos. The mismatch reflects a known weakness in state and local procurement taxonomy application: issuing bodies often misclassify produce purchases. To the extent this code sees activity, the soliciting bodies are school districts operating child nutrition programs serving USDA National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) meals; however, the actual goods being bid are bananas, mixed vegetables, and assorted fresh fruits rather than the organic citrus implied by the code name.

Geographic concentration in recent activity is limited to Wisconsin and reflects only the two Madison Metropolitan School District notices. No repeat buyers appear under this code, and no pattern of sustained procurement activity emerges from the narrow sample. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the taxonomy mismatch and absence of tangelo-specific solicitations suggest that state and local governments either classify citrus purchases under parent-level codes (UNSPSC 50314400 or higher) or apply codes incorrectly at point of posting. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for tangelo procurement and instead monitor higher-level produce family codes (UNSPSC 50314000 and above) where school districts and other institutional buyers actually solicit fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts.
