UNSPSC 50324413: Dried honey oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324413 Dried honey oranges is a Commodity code that reflects a narrow product line within state and local school nutrition procurement, though recent solicitation activity shows the code captures a broader range of dried and fresh citrus fruits rather than honey oranges specifically. School districts and state correctional facilities dominate buying under this code, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice representing the active issuing bodies in recent months. The work being solicited includes fresh produce supply contracts spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories for school nutrition centers and correctional food service operations, with citrus fruits (apples, berries, melons, oranges, and specialty items) routinely appearing alongside other produce in larger multi-category RFPs and IFBs. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP food safety plans, comprehensive insurance coverage, and firm-fixed pricing for contract duration are standard compliance requirements across these solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools, Sparta, Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (including citrus) with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027.
