UNSPSC 50324400: Dried mandarin oranges or tangerines

The type of fruit known as mandarin oranges or tangerines that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324400 Dried mandarin oranges or tangerines is a Class code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are instead focused on broad fresh produce procurement, fresh-and-frozen commodity food supply, and general cafeteria food products for school districts, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. While the code's nominal scope names a single dried-fruit commodity, the opportunities show school districts and correction authorities buying full-line fresh produce portfolios, all-categories grocery supply, and multi-item food service contracts encompassing proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees. The issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts, county boards of education, and state or county correctional agencies. No recent opportunities reflect procurement narrowly targeted to dried mandarin oranges or tangerines as a standalone item, suggesting the code may be misapplied or the category sees minimal dedicated solicitation activity at the state and local level.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California. Prominent recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issuing IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a due date of June 26, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issuing IFB BNB053266 for commodities with a due date of June 26, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education (Hinesville, Georgia) issuing an IFB for food products due April 29, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K–12 due April 27, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia, with annual estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. State agencies including the Georgia Department of Education and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) also solicit food commodity contracts. The code shows low decision relevance for vendors targeting dried-mandarin-specific procurement at the state and local level.
