UNSPSC 50314422: Organic minneola tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314422 Organic minneola tangelo oranges is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce under this code primarily through school nutrition programs serving K–12 students. Recent solicitations show that citrus fruits, including tangelos and tangerines, are regularly purchased as components of broader fresh produce contracts supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, Farm to School initiatives, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. The work solicited is not acquisition of organic minneola tangelos as a standalone item; instead, citrus varieties appear as line items within comprehensive fresh produce solicitations that name apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared salads. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, though state agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative also solicit produce on behalf of multiple member districts. Issuing bodies weight cost heavily (typically 30–50 points in scoring) and emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, product quality and shelf life, delivery reliability to multiple school sites, and food safety documentation including traceability and recall procedures.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia school districts. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 covering 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with proposals due March 4, 2026; the Glynn County Board of Education solicited fresh produce under IFB 27-02 with bids due April 14, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026 covering over 200 produce line items including citrus varieties; and Bulloch County School District issued an IFP for locally grown produce (within 200 miles) with proposals due May 4, 2026. Activity also appears in Texas (McAllen Independent School District RFP 2026-1029, Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options for one to four additional years. The code shows no recent standalone organic minneola tangelo procurement; citrus items trade as line items within multi-hundred-item fresh produce frameworks, and organic status is not emphasized in available solicitation documents.
