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, a Commodity code, encompasses dried citrus products that state and local school districts and correctional facilities procure as component items within broader fresh and processed produce contracts. Recent solicitations reveal that this code typically appears as one line item among dozens or hundreds within larger nutrition or food-service procurement packages rather than as a standalone product line. School districts and state agencies soliciting under this code are acquiring dried citrus in quantities and packaging specifications tailored to institutional meal planning, often subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content thresholds and compliance with USDA grade standards.

Recent activity shows school districts in Georgia and Connecticut and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFBs for comprehensive food-service commodities that include dried fruit items alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable groceries. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple varieties and delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted solicitation BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, with electronic bids due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center under Buy American requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 cafeteria food-product line items across five geographic warehouse areas, with the final response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Most recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas; the code shows limited standalone solicitation activity and functions as a sub-item within institutional nutrition procurement rather than as a primary buying focus.
