UNSPSC 50314416: Organic king mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314416 Organic king mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single fresh-citrus product line, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are almost entirely unrelated to organic mandarins specifically. The code shows minimal relevant procurement activity; instead, the opportunities solicited under this code cover broad fresh-produce categories (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, berries, eggs, and dozens of other items) for school nutrition programs. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin are the primary issuing bodies, supplemented by the State of Georgia itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (organic king mandarin oranges) and what is actually being bought (comprehensive produce line-item assortments for institutional food service) suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code is used as a catch-all for fresh-produce procurement in state and local systems. The work solicited is routine institutional produce supply — RFBs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for annual or multi-year contracts serving 10 to 30+ school sites with weekly or twice-weekly delivery, HACCP compliance, Buy American certifications, and insurance requirements typical of school nutrition contracting.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with opportunities from Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County (representing a cooperative serving 30 districts across two regions), plus Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Bartow County School System in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, and McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts in Texas. Douglas County's RFP SN 26-004 posted February 4, 2026, with a March 4, 2026, proposal deadline, is representative in scope and scale — it covers 72 produce line items with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for one geographic area and $1.1 million for another across 30 districts. Liberty County Board of Education issued two parallel IFBs (PE68910NONST2026000000049 and PE68910NONST2026000000050) on March 30, 2026, for produce and food products with April 29, 2026, bid deadlines. Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034, posted February 14, 2026, with proposals due March 11, 2026, solicits fresh produce and a la carte beverages across multiple Austin-area jurisdictions with emphasis on Good Food Purchasing Program alignment and Texas-grown product preference. All recent opportunities emphasize firm fixed pricing for the contract term (typically July 1 to June 30), domestic agricultural sourcing where required by federal Buy American provisions, HACCP plans with traceability and 24/7 recall capability, and insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million in general liability coverage.
