UNSPSC 50324432: Dried pixie oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324432 Dried pixie oranges (Commodity) does not reflect material recent state and local procurement activity. The code name—dried pixie oranges, a niche specialty citrus product—bears no relation to the contents of the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC number. The opportunities instead show school districts and correctional facilities soliciting broad fresh produce, grocery staples, and dried fruit categories. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits, with a June 26, 2026, response deadline and delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB on June 2, 2026, for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, encompassing eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, with responses due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, via the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products—proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits—for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas, with a May 4, 2026, response deadline (extended via Addendum No. 2 from April 21, 2026).

School districts dominate recent activity under this code: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued an IFB on April 6, 2026, for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posted a solicitation on March 31, 2026, for over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year, due April 29, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on March 30, 2026, for over 400 food items across fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods, due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce on March 22, 2026, under an annual contract for 72 produce items, due April 23, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP on February 4, 2026, through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026, and a separate RFP on January 21, 2026, for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million, due February 18, 2026. The County of Santa Clara, California posted an ITB on January 28, 2026, for dried fruits and nuts to support the Sheriff's Department of Correction Food Services—dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans—due February 5, 2026, with a five-year contract and local business preference of five percent. Geographic concentration spans Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California, with Georgia appearing in the majority of posted opportunities. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code descriptor (dried pixie oranges) and actual buying activity (broad fresh produce, grocery staples, dried fruits, proteins, and institutional food service) indicates either a miscoding error or an outdated taxonomy entry; pursuit decisions should rely on the scope of actual recent solicitations rather than the code name.
