UNSPSC 50314437: Organic sampson tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314437 Organic sampson tangelo oranges is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single citrus fruit variety, yet recent state and local solicitations show substantial divergence from this narrow scope. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are actively procuring fresh produce under codes in this family, but the recent opportunities tagged to 50314437 focus overwhelmingly on broad fresh-produce supply contracts spanning dozens of fruit and vegetable line items rather than organic sampson tangelos specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District, for example, solicited petite bananas and mixed fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks; Hancock County Board of Education requested over 200 produce line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items); and Bulloch County School District sought 24 locally grown produce items for its Farm to School program. The code's nominal scope appears misaligned with the actual buying activity—school food service departments use this and related produce codes to tag institutional fresh-produce supply contracts that are generalist in commodity mix and buyer-driven by menu planning, not by a specific fruit variety.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations from Madison Metropolitan (Wisconsin), Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County (all Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District (both Texas), alongside county boards of education and independent school districts across the Southeast and Southwest. State agencies also appear—Georgia's State of Georgia posted a broad food-supplies solicitation in May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual contract value, due July 29, 2026), Madison Metropolitan RFB 4163 for fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and certified through the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program (5,900 servings weekly, September 1–November 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh-produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty items (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 fresh-produce and egg line items serving 30 school districts across Georgia (estimated $4.4 million for Area One, $1.1 million for Area Two, March 4, 2026 deadline), and Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for approximately 60 fresh-produce line items with weekly Tuesday delivery to 16 school locations (April 14, 2026 deadline). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas counties), with significant recent solicitations also in Wisconsin, Texas (Austin, McAllen), and Florida. Buy American compliance, HACCP plan submission, food-safety certifications, and local-sourcing preferences appear consistently across solicitations; cooperative purchasing vehicles such as GEC are used to aggregate demand across multiple districts.
