UNSPSC 50324421: Dried mediterranean mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324421 Dried mediterranean mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct solicitation activity under its specific product name in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single dried citrus product, yet the recent opportunities block shows no active bids specifically for dried mediterranean mandarin oranges. Instead, the state and local records reflect broad fresh produce, grocery, and food service solicitations issued by school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school districts across multiple states — including Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Santa Clara County's correctional food services in California, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These jurisdictions are actively buying fresh fruits, frozen produce, dried fruit assortments, nuts, and prepared foods in bulk quantities under broader commodity codes and term contracts, but none of the posted solicitations target dried mediterranean mandarin oranges as a line item. The single historical record that aligns with dried fruit procurement is Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans), which shows dried fruit demand exists in correctional food services but does not specify mandarin oranges.

The absence of specific dried mediterranean mandarin orange solicitations in the recent state and local record suggests either that this product is procured sporadically as part of larger dried fruit or snack line items within master grocery contracts, or that demand for this specific variety is limited among state and local food service operations. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor the broader dried fruit and grocery categories under UNSPSC Segment 50000000 and Family 50320000 (fruits and nuts, fresh or processed), where school nutrition programs and correctional facilities place the majority of their dried fruit orders within multi-item IFBs and RFPs. The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, California, and Texas, but procurement of dried mediterranean mandarin oranges specifically does not appear in current solicitations.
