UNSPSC 50324432 Dried pixie oranges is a Commodity code covering fresh and dried citrus fruits procured by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other public food-service operations. The recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce and prepared food items for cafeteria operations, with dried fruits appearing as line items within broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including citrus fruits for the 2026-27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also closing June 26, 2026. The State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) both posted food-supply IFBs in May and June 2026, with TDCJ's 304T26300CF covering approximately 382 line items for multiple warehouse locations and TDCJ's earlier Bid No. IW236532 specifically calling for whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60–70 count size at U.S. Grade B quality. Issuing bodies include school districts, state education departments, state corrections agencies, and municipal nutrition centers.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with TDCJ procurement spanning five geographic areas across Texas and delivering to six distribution points statewide. Hancock County Schools' produce contract serves delivery sites in central Georgia, and Bridgeport's nutrition center procurement covers the Connecticut city. The State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) scope was contained in a separate 12 MB attachment document, with bids due June 22, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products apply across school-nutrition solicitations, and TDCJ contracts impose USDA grade compliance and firm fixed pricing with FOB Destination delivery terms. Recent dried-fruit activity is limited; the TDCJ prune solicitation (IW236532) with a due date of February 20, 2026, and a minimum order of 1,400 boxes represents the most specific recent opportunity under this code, though the posting date of April 23, 2026, postdates the original bid closing.
