UNSPSC 50315005: Organic bergamot oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic bergamot oranges

UNSPSC 50315005 Organic bergamot oranges (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to this code. Recent solicitations show school districts and counties procuring broad fresh produce categories—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables for child nutrition programs—but no bids or proposals reference bergamot oranges specifically or organic citrus varieties as a distinct line item. The code's nominal scope (specialty citrus) diverges from what is actually being purchased: standardized fresh produce in high-volume, weekly-delivery formats for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and Farm to School initiatives.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia jurisdictions including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Glynn County Board of Education, alongside solicitations from McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the State of Georgia. Geographic spread includes Georgia (the dominant state), Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, with Georgia appearing in over half the recent opportunities. Representative recent activity includes the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with delivery to three school locations (bids due June 26, 2026); the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas at an estimated annual value of $78,000 with delivery to a single food production center (bids due July 29, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering approximately 72 produce line items for 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (proposals due March 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity; the mismatch suggests vendors pursuing organic bergamot orange supply should verify actual buying demand before pursuing opportunities tagged to this classification.
