UNSPSC 50314421: Organic mediterranean mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314421 Organic mediterranean mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears almost exclusively in school nutrition solicitations for fresh produce supply contracts, though the specific code itself shows minimal recent activity narrowly focused on citrus procurement. The code's nominal scope—organic Mediterranean mandarin oranges—does not align closely with what state and local governments are actually buying under related produce codes. Recent opportunities posted under adjacent fresh-fruit taxonomy show school districts procuring comprehensive fresh produce line items (apples, bananas, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, eggs, and specialty citrus including Satsumas, tangerines, and generic citrus varieties) rather than organic Mediterranean mandarins as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies are almost exclusively school districts and county boards of education sourcing for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meal service across multiple school sites, with a small number of produce RFPs issued by independent school districts in Texas and cooperative purchasing arrangements spanning multi-district buying groups. No recent solicitations appear to specify organic certification or Mediterranean origin as a requirement.

Geographic activity in fresh-produce contracting is concentrated in Georgia (Glynn County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems), with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Texas (Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 issued February 4, 2026, through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026; the Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 16 school locations with sealed bids due April 14, 2026 at 10:00 AM; and the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles and approximately 5,900 servings weekly. The code itself shows limited current procurement velocity; business development focus should center on broader fresh-produce family codes rather than the narrow organic mandarin commodity specification.
