UNSPSC 50324404: Dried dancy tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50324404 Dried dancy tangerines is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food supply contracts, though the recent opportunities block shows no standalone solicitations for dried tangerines alone. Instead, dried citrus fruits appear embedded within multi-category food RFPs and IFBs serving school districts and correctional facilities. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including citrus fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with a response due date of June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). These solicitations uniformly enforce the Buy American provision requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products, mandate HACCP or USDA compliance documentation, require sealed bids on prepaid freight terms, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or multiple vendors at the buyer's discretion.

The code sees activity across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts and correctional departments as primary issuing bodies. Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the geographic and institutional spread evident in the recent-opportunity block. The Texas TDCJ prunes solicitation (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) specifically named dried fruit procurement but has already passed its response date and is not current. School nutrition contracts dominate the active block, with responses typically due in June and contract terms running through June 30, 2027. Vendors must submit product specifications, manufacturer information, nutritional data, proof of USDA grading and compliance, insurance certificates naming the buyer as additional insured, and three vendor references; emergency backup stock and 24-hour delivery capability are required by some jurisdictions. Pricing is firm-fixed for the contract term unless major market changes are documented with 30 days' notice, and payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days.
