UNSPSC 50324431: Dried page mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324431 Dried page mandarin oranges is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specific dried citrus products for institutional food service. The recent opportunities show little activity directly aligned with this narrow code — the posted solicitations span much broader fresh produce and food commodity categories rather than dried mandarin oranges specifically. Hancock County Schools in Georgia solicited fresh produce including citrus fruits for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, with a response date of June 26, 2026, encompassing over 200 line items across multiple produce types; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items including fresh vegetables and fruits. A separate Texas TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532) did target a specific dried fruit — whole pitted dried prunes — with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes and a response deadline of February 20, 2026. The issuing bodies soliciting food commodities under related codes include county school boards, municipal education departments, state agencies, and institutional food service providers.

The code shows limited recent activity specifically for dried mandarin oranges. Geographic spread includes Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas across the recent solicitation set, though the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer for specific dried fruit products. No recent solicitation directly names dried page mandarin oranges as a line item; the Hancock County, Bridgeport, and Georgia state solicitations reference citrus fruits within broader fresh produce categories, while the TDCJ prune procurement and the broader cafeteria food product bid (304T-26-300CF) suggest institutional demand for dried fruit exists but is not consistently coded to this specific commodity classification. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and posted opportunities indicates that dried mandarin oranges procurement under this code does not reflect significant state and local contracting activity in the recent market.
