UNSPSC 50315026: Organic moro oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic moro oranges

UNSPSC 50315026 Organic moro oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty fresh citrus fruits for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show minimal activity directly aligned with this narrow code specification. The recent solicitations in the dataset reflect broad fresh produce procurement across multiple fruit and vegetable categories by school districts and educational systems, not specialized organic citrus purchasing. State and local issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce under this code family span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, and Douglas County) operating National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA-funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. These districts procure through RFPs, RFBs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates typically 30 to 60 days from posting and contract terms running July 1 through June 30 across fiscal years 2026–2027 and beyond. Produce specifications emphasize domestic sourcing where practicable, compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items, HACCP certification, traceability by farm of origin, and adherence to USDA whole-grain and nutrition standards.

Geographic concentration appears heavily weighted toward Georgia school systems, with recent opportunities from Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County (two solicitations), Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Glynn County, alongside activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Texas (McAllen, Austin), and Florida (Hillsborough County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, specialty items) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles including 24 items (watermelons, apples, citrus varieties, sweet potatoes, greens, tomatoes, Vidalia onions) with proposals due May 4, 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables (estimated annual budget $600,000, contract September 1, 2026 through May 1, 2027). The Commodity code's nominal scope—organic moro oranges specifically—appears decoupled from actual procurement activity, which emphasizes mixed fresh produce baskets purchased on cost-plus or firm-fixed-price models with annual quantities, delivery frequency, and pricing flexibility rather than specialized single-item sourcing.
