UNSPSC 50315025: Organic melogold oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic melogold oranges

UNSPSC 50315025 Organic melogold oranges is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. State and local school districts do purchase fresh produce for child nutrition programs, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for organic melogold oranges or even organic citrus at that species-and-variety level of specificity. The most recent opportunities on file are for broad fresh-produce procurement covering dozens of items—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and generic citrus—but none isolate melogold oranges by name or organic certification as a line item. A July 2026 Madison Metropolitan School District RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162) and a related fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation (RFB 4163) confirm that school nutrition programs issue competitive bids for specific produce items and varieties, but neither targets this particular commodity.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas represent the bulk of recent produce procurement activity in the source data, with solicitations from Liberty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and others issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual produce contracts running July through June. Geographic spread covers multiple Georgia school systems plus Florida (Hillsborough County) and Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD). Evaluation criteria consistently weight cost at 30–50 percent, with secondary points for product quality, vendor experience, delivery reliability, and Buy American compliance. Vendors must carry general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, maintain HACCP plans, comply with USDA domestic-content rules, and deliver weekly to school sites. The code shows activity, but no recent opportunity targets organic melogold oranges specifically—suggesting the commodity is either procured as a generic line item within broader fresh-citrus buys or not actively solicited at this tier in state and local markets right now.
