UNSPSC 50314418: Organic lee mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314418 Organic lee mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that covers the supply of fresh citrus fruit to state and local institutions, particularly school districts operating child nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities show that jurisdictions are procuring fresh produce under this code primarily through school nutrition departments sourcing fruits and vegetables for breakfast, lunch, and snack programs, though the specific citrus items tagged to this code appear in broader fresh-produce solicitations rather than as standalone line items. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas, supplemented by activity in Florida and Wisconsin. The work involves meeting detailed agricultural specifications, food safety documentation (HACCP plans, traceability, recall procedures), delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules, compliance with Buy American provisions favoring domestic commodities, and adherence to USDA child nutrition program standards.

Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, soliciting fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026; Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02, procuring approximately 60 produce line items for 16 school locations statewide, with bids due April 14, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34, covering 72 fresh produce items for delivery to 60 school sites, with sealed bids due April 23, 2026. Vendors must carry minimum general liability insurance of $1 million, maintain documented supplier relationships with pricing indexed to USDA market reports, and commit to weekly or regular delivery schedules with high fill rates (typically 98 percent or above). Georgia school districts dominate the recent opportunities block, though activity also appears in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (Austin and McAllen independent school districts), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). The code shows consistent activity in school nutrition procurement, particularly for fall-through-spring and year-round supply contracts, with awards typically made on a line-item basis to single or multiple vendors based on lowest qualified pricing.
