UNSPSC 50314431: Organic page mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314431 Organic page mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual fresh produce procurement activity currently posted by state and local governments. The recent opportunities in the source show school districts and educational systems soliciting fresh produce generally—including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, citrus fruits, berries, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs—but none explicitly specify mandarin oranges, organic or otherwise. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests this Commodity code sees little targeted activity. The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are uniformly school districts and boards of education (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System), with occasional state-level participation (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate, supported by USDA funding mechanisms including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties and sizes, due June 26, 2026, and Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce from 24 item categories within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026, with award targeted for May 8, 2026. Douglas County School System issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending, due March 4, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas under RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163, also due July 29, 2026. Most solicitations use RFP, RFB, or IFB instruments with annual contract terms and renewal options, emphasize Buy American provisions and HACCP compliance, require domestic sourcing within 50–400 miles where specified, and prioritize cost competitiveness alongside product quality and vendor qualifications. If pursuing this code, vendors should note that mandarin oranges as a specific line item appear absent from the recent opportunity mix; broader fresh produce categories drive current activity.
