UNSPSC 50314444: Organic wekiwa tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50314444 Organic wekiwa tangerines is a Commodity-tier code that nominally describes a specific citrus variety, but the recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for wekiwa tangerines or any organic citrus procurement. Instead, the block shows a dense cluster of school nutrition fresh-produce and food-service buys from school districts and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, spanning the period from February through July 2026. The mismatch between the code name and the actual solicited work is substantial: recent opportunities under this code number are purchasing comprehensive fresh-produce baskets—apples, bananas, berries, peppers, leafy greens, eggs, and other staples—for National School Lunch Programs and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, not organic wekiwa tangerines specifically. This code shows no relevant recent activity for the commodity named in the taxonomy.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia, procuring on behalf of 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida). Recent solicitations are structured as RFBs, RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs with response dates clustered in late March through late July 2026. Georgia school districts are the heaviest users of this code, followed by Texas and Florida. The Douglas County RFP is the largest identified procurement, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two covering 30 districts across two regions. Smaller individual district buys range from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan petite bananas) to estimated six-figure annual contracts at Liberty County and Muscogee County. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options for one to four additional years. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as GEC Buying Cooperative expand procurement scope across multiple jurisdictions. Vendors must meet Buy American requirements, HACCP and food-safety certifications, insurance minimums typically ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in liability coverage, E-Verify and debarment compliance, and product specifications tied to USDA standards for whole-grain and nutritional content. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are consistently identified across the solicitations, though some districts encourage affirmative contracting or offer diversity-business scoring points.
