UNSPSC 50315032: Organic parson brown oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic parson brown oranges

UNSPSC 50315032 Organic parson brown oranges is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a single citrus variety, yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for organic parson brown oranges; instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement broadly—bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive produce assortments for school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the wide-ranging fruit and vegetable contracts posted under it suggests either a cataloging inconsistency in the state and local systems or that procurement offices are using this code as a catchall for produce family purchasing despite its commodity-level specificity.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with sealed-bid and RFP solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted between February and July 2026. Georgia school districts represent the highest concentration of activity. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items and running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations consistently weight cost between 30 and 50 percent, with secondary emphasis on vendor qualifications, product quality, delivery reliability, and compliance certifications including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, and insurance minimums typically ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability coverage.
