UNSPSC 50314439: Organic sunburst mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50314439 Organic sunburst mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific fresh citrus product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent solicitation. The recent opportunities posted under or near this code overwhelmingly concern fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive produce assortments for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs — rather than organic mandarin oranges specifically. One opportunity (Hillsborough County Public Schools) names specialty fruits for a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving elementary students, and another (Bulloch County School District) includes citrus varieties (Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, and Tangerines) as part of a Farm to School program, but neither explicitly targets organic sunburst mandarins. The code itself appears to be a narrow product-level classification that does not capture the actual breadth of what state and local governments are buying under produce procurement codes at present.

School districts and boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent activity, issuing RFBs, IFBs, and RFPs for school nutrition produce contracts. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with 60 produce items (due April 14, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 to $1.1 million by geographic area (due March 4, 2026). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually and emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, domestic sourcing where cost and quality permit, and delivery to multiple school sites. If organic mandarin oranges are a procurement need, they would appear as a line item within a broader fresh produce solicitation rather than as a standalone commodity code opportunity.
