A variety of mandarin orange that is grown around the mediterranean and in south africa with a a deep reddish orange color and few seeds that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324402 Dried clementine tangerines is a Commodity code that captures dried citrus products, including dried clementines, procured by school districts and state corrections agencies to supply cafeteria and nutrition center meal programs. State and local governments buy these items as components of school lunch and institutional food service contracts, where dried fruits are integrated into broader fresh produce and commodity food procurement. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state institutional food agencies—the Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut have posted active nutrition procurement in the recent cycle—alongside state-level departments managing food supply for correctional facilities and other state institutions. Buy American provisions are standard across these solicitations, typically requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Northeast, with recent opportunities from Georgia and Connecticut school districts and the State of Georgia's broad food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026). Texas has also posted institutional food procurement on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, though dried clementines do not appear explicitly itemized in the available summaries of those solicitations. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year with a bid opening on June 29, 2026 and delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport posted an IFB for commodities under solicitation BNB053266 with electronic submission due June 26, 2026 to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center. Both school-based opportunities carry standard compliance requirements including HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and anti-collusion affidavits. Activity under this specific commodity code appears limited in the recent posting record; broader fresh produce and commodity food RFBs dominate the category, and dried clementines may be sourced as line items within those larger contracts rather than as standalone solicitations.
