UNSPSC 50315034: Organic pummulo oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic pummulo oranges

UNSPSC 50315034 Organic pummulo oranges is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect purchases of this specific citrus variety. Instead, the opportunities show school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida soliciting comprehensive fresh produce categories — including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and various specialty items — under RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch; the actual procurement spans broad fresh produce supply for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and Farm to School initiatives rather than organic pummulos specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), 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, via the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two regions).

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia, with additional solicitations in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026, contingent on USDA grant approval); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items (due June 26, 2026, covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 produce items grown within 200 miles of the district (due May 4, 2026, supporting the Farm to School program); and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for 72 produce line items serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. Evaluation criteria typically emphasize cost, product quality, delivery reliability, traceability and HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and references; several districts apply geographic sourcing preferences and encourage diverse-owned business participation.
