UNSPSC 50314432: Organic pixie oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314432 Organic pixie oranges is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity shown in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific produce item—organic pixie oranges—but the recent solicitations tagged under this code uniformly request bids and proposals for broad fresh produce procurement spanning dozens of line items (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, eggs, and miscellaneous fresh fruits) supplying school nutrition programs across multiple school districts and, in one case, a cooperative purchasing vehicle. None of the recent opportunities targets organic pixie oranges specifically or limits scope to a single produce variety. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement management systems used by these jurisdictions or that the code is being applied to parent-level produce procurement that encompasses but is not limited to this commodity. State and local procurement offices—primarily school districts and their nutrition programs—are the exclusive issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block, with no state departments, counties, cities, or transit authorities appearing in the sample.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia school districts, with solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) representing the geographic spread. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding); Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items (due June 26, 2026); Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two); and Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 16 school locations (due April 14, 2026). School nutrition procurement under this code emphasizes domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, weekly delivery logistics, and cost-plus or fixed-price contracting with prospective price redetermination tied to USDA market reports. Bidders face standard requirements for general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), debarment certification, E-Verify authorization, and food safety documentation.
