UNSPSC 50324425: Dried murcott tangors

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

UNSPSC 50324425 Dried murcott tangors, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement activity for dried citrus fruits, particularly murcott tangor varieties, supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments buying under this code seek dried fruits as components of broader commodity procurement strategies rather than as standalone line items. The code encompasses dried fruit products delivered to school districts, county detention facilities, and state-level nutrition services, typically as part of multi-category food supply contracts that include fresh produce, proteins, grains, and processed items. Issuing bodies include school districts (ranging from small county systems to large urban districts), state corrections departments, county sheriffs' departments, and state education agencies. School districts dominate the recent activity, with representatives including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside state-level buyers such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia Department of Education.

Recent opportunities show significant geographic concentration in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026), which encompassed over 200 produce line items alongside citrus fruits; the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026), which specified five dried fruit and nut line items on an all-or-none basis; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21), which covered approximately 382 line items across multiple food categories including dried goods. Buy American provisions appear consistently across school district solicitations, typically requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products. Payment terms are frequently Net 30 to Net 45 days, and contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years. Multi-vendor awards are common, allowing school districts and agencies to allocate line items to different suppliers based on price and performance.
