UNSPSC 50315016: Organic hamlin oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic hamlin oranges

UNSPSC 50315016 Organic hamlin oranges is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single citrus variety but shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name refers to a specific orange cultivar, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic hamlin oranges. Instead, the posted opportunities focus on fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs—bananas (including petite bananas), mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and broad commodity items spanning apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, citrus varieties generically (oranges, grapefruits, citrus fruits), and other staples. School districts and county boards of education are the issuing bodies, posting RFBs, RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs for annual contracts supporting National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. The few opportunities mentioning citrus at all (Hancock County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education) list citrus generically or specify varieties like Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, and Tangerines rather than organic hamlin oranges specifically. No solicitation in the block requests organic certification or identifies hamlin oranges as a line item.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County) and extends to Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Typical recent procurements include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas with a July 29, 2026 deadline and $78,000 estimated annual value; Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for 200+ fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity—no issuing body is soliciting organic hamlin oranges specifically, making this a watch-and-wait category unless a district explicitly names the variety in a future RFP addendum or questions-and-answers cycle.
