UNSPSC 50314417: Organic kinnow oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314417 Organic kinnow oranges is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—primarily fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs—under this code, though the recent opportunities show a significant mismatch: the code nominally describes organic kinnow oranges, but the solicitations captured in the source are almost entirely for generic fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, berries, and eggs) supplied to school districts under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts. Only one recent opportunity mentions citrus at all (Bulloch County's specification of "citrus varieties" including Satsumas and Tangerines), and none specifically solicit organic kinnow oranges. The actual work being tagged to this code involves institutional food service procurement where vendors deliver diverse fresh-produce assortments weekly to multiple school sites, with emphasis on USDA compliance, HACCP traceability, Buy American domestic sourcing, and product quality standards. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, and Muscogee County in Georgia; Bartow County and Early County in Georgia; McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts in Texas; Douglas County School System in Georgia (coordinating 30 districts through a cooperative); Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools; and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida. Georgia accounts for the largest concentration of recent activity, with at least eight school districts posting solicitations between February and July 2026.

Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) at an estimated $78,000 annual value with 70–90 cases weekly, and its RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and processed into ready-to-eat form for approximately 5,900 elementary-student servings weekly under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 72 produce line items for 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Liberty County Board of Education posted two companion IFBs in late March 2026 for food products (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 400 food items including fresh and frozen produce and dairy. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida solicited proposals for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26039RFQDST, due March 11, 2026, estimated $600,000 annual budget) seeking specialty fruits and vegetables for approximately 18 elementary schools with automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods. The code shows substantial activity but shows little relevant recent activity for the specific commodity (organic kinnow oranges) nominally named in the code classification.
