UNSPSC 50315024: Organic marr oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic marr oranges

UNSPSC 50315024 Organic marr oranges is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—primarily fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs—under codes in this family, though the recent solicitation record shows minimal activity specifically tagged to organic citrus. The opportunities posted over the past four months are dominated by school districts soliciting fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus varieties generically) rather than organic oranges or narrow commodity-specific buys. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, with occasional participation by state food service offices. The work solicited is institutional fresh produce supply on annual or multi-year contracts, typically supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with growing emphasis on local sourcing (within 200–400 miles) and compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and traceability documentation. Vendors compete on per-unit pricing, delivery reliability, product quality, and insurance compliance rather than organic certification specifically.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 annual estimated value) and its RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (bids due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items across 2026–27 (bids due June 26, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce to 16 schools (bids due April 14, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (proposals due March 11, 2026). The code shows no standout repeat buyers and no visible recent awards naming incumbent vendors. The absence of organic-specific opportunities suggests limited current demand for organically certified produce procurement at the state and local level under this code.
