UNSPSC 50324424: Dried murcott honey oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324424 Dried murcott honey oranges is a Commodity code covering fresh and dried citrus products purchased by school districts and state correctional and institutional food service operations. The recent solicitations show little direct procurement of this specific variety; instead, school nutrition programs and state agencies soliciting under this code are buying broad fresh produce portfolios that include citrus among dozens of other fruit and vegetable lines. Hancock County Schools in Georgia's IFB for fresh produce in the 2026–27 school year itemizes multiple citrus fruits within a 200-line produce scope, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center includes fruit and vegetable products in a 115-line procurement. The State of Georgia posted a general food supplies and kitchen products solicitation in May 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice regularly procures fresh and specialty food items across institutional distribution points. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments, state department of corrections operations, and municipal departments of public purchase on behalf of school boards. The Buy American Provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products applies across school lunch contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering fresh produce for three school delivery sites under a contract period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing inclusive of packing and transportation. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases accepted electronic bids through June 26, 2026 for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with contract through June 30, 2027 and a one-year optional extension. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with an extended response due date of May 4, 2026. The TDCJ also procured whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) with delivery to the Corpus Christi location. These solicitations show that state and local food service procurement under dried citrus codes remains embedded within broad fresh-produce and institutional food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items.
