UNSPSC 50324401: Dried clauselinas oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as clauselinas oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324401 Dried clauselinas oranges, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity being solicited under this taxonomy entry by state and local governments. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy products, proteins, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs and institutional cafeterias — not dried citrus fruits. Hancock County Schools in Georgia solicited fresh produce including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits via IFB for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an RFQ for 115 line items spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products to supply its Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026). The State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) posted broader food-supply solicitations covering institutional cafeteria needs. TDCJ also issued a separate IFB for whole, pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes (amended due date February 20, 2026). The issuing bodies are school districts, city education departments, state agencies, and state correctional systems — all procuring food for institutional nutrition programs.

The recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts and state departments of education and corrections as the primary buyers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried clauselinas oranges) and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests a taxonomy coding error rather than a meaningful commodity category for current procurement. No recent opportunities specifically solicit dried clauselinas oranges or similar specialty dried citrus products. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC code(s) intended for dried fruit products before pursuing opportunities under this designation.
