UNSPSC 50314438: Organic satsuma mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314438 Organic satsuma mandarin oranges (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally specifies a single specialty citrus fruit, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic satsuma mandarins specifically. Instead, school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are procuring fresh produce — apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, berries, citrus varieties (including but not limited to oranges and tangerines), leafy greens, and dozens of other fruits and vegetables — under broader fresh-produce codes and cooperative purchasing vehicles. A June 2026 Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce does name "citrus fruits" without product-line specificity, and a Bulloch County RFP from April 2026 includes "Satsumas" as one of 24 produce items being sourced within 200 miles of the county, but these remain embedded in multi-item solicitations spanning 60 to 400+ line items each. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity at the commodity level.

State and local school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs from Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County (through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Hillsborough County in Florida, McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts in Texas, and the State of Georgia all seeking fresh produce between February and July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (bids due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 produce line items with delivery to three school locations, and Bulloch County School District RFP for 24 produce items including Satsumas (proposals due May 4, 2026, with contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). The Douglas County cooperative procurement spans 72 produce items across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two. School districts uniformly require Buy American certification, HACCP plans, insurance coverage, compliance with USDA whole-grain and nutrition standards, and weekly delivery logistics. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas (Austin, McAllen) and Florida (Hillsborough County). No opportunities specifically requiring organic certification or organic-sourced products appear in the recent block, nor do any name satsuma mandarins as a sole or featured commodity.
