UNSPSC 50324409: Dried fremont mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324409 Dried fremont mandarin oranges is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the product specification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show a pronounced mismatch between the narrow commodity definition—dried Fremont mandarin oranges—and the actual work being solicited. School districts, counties, and state agencies are procuring broad fresh and dried fruit baskets as part of larger nutrition or food service contracts, but specific references to Fremont mandarins, dried or otherwise, appear only incidentally if at all in the detailed line-item lists provided in the solicitations. The code appears to function as a fallback taxonomy marker for school nutrition procurement rather than a product-specific demand signal.

Recent activity clusters heavily in school nutrition procurement across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California, driven by annual K–12 nutrition contract cycles (July through June fiscal years). Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, bids due April 27, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (bids due April 29, 2026). A few broader food service solicitations also carry the code: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (IFB 304T26300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 food line items) and the County of Santa Clara Dried Fruits and Nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, bids due February 5, 2026, for a five-year detention facility food supply contract). Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and departments of education, with occasional appearances from state corrections agencies and county sheriff departments. If pursuing this code, vendors should treat it as part of the broader school nutrition commodity marketplace rather than a standalone product line, and expect opportunity flow to track the school calendar and budget cycles.
