UNSPSC 50324435: Dried robinson oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324435 Dried robinson oranges is a Commodity code covering dried citrus and specialty fruit products procured by school districts and state correctional and institutional food services. State and local governments purchase dried fruit primarily as cafeteria and nutrition center inventory to supply student meal programs and institutional food service operations. The solicitations show school nutrition programs and state correctional departments acquiring dried fruit alongside fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, and canned goods as part of broader food commodity contracts. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal education purchasing offices. School districts dominate the code's activity, treating dried fruit as one line item within comprehensive fresh and processed food procurement RFPs and IFBs.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date covering over 200 line items including citrus fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with deliveries to three school sites and a 51 percent Buy American content requirement for processed items. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued IFB BNB053266 for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center with a June 26, 2026 deadline covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products and MBE/CBE eligibility. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with a June 22, 2026 due date. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with a May 4, 2026 response date extended by addendum and covering six TDCJ warehouse distribution points across Texas. A separate TDCJ procurement (IFB IW236532) specifically targeted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 due date and a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location, indicating narrow opportunities for single dried-fruit line items within larger institutional food service contracts.
