UNSPSC 50315010: Organic blood oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic blood oranges

UNSPSC 50315010 Organic blood oranges is a Commodity-tier code that nominally addresses citrus procurement but shows little activity aligned with that scope in recent state and local opportunities. The code appears in the system as tagged against school nutrition solicitations, yet the actual work being solicited under related records centers on broad fresh-produce supply contracts serving institutional food service — bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and other staples for school lunch and breakfast programs, not organic citrus specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026, solicited petite bananas (150-count cases, 5" to 5.5" length) for weekly delivery at $78,000 estimated annual value; the same district's RFB 4163, also posted July 8, 2026, requested fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Neither opportunity names organic citrus as a line item. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (June 2026, sealed bids due June 26) encompassed over 200 produce line items including citrus varieties (Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, tangerines) but did not specify organic sourcing or isolate citrus as a separate procurement focus.

Issuing bodies posting under or near this code are uniformly school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity from state-level food service agencies. The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County multi-district cooperative, Bartow County) and includes activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County). The procurement pattern reflects demand-driven institutional food service driven by school nutrition programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants, and National School Lunch Program funding. Recent opportunities do not isolate organic blood oranges or organic citrus as a commodity line; the code does not show dedicated market activity and may reflect a cataloging mismatch rather than active procurement demand.
