UNSPSC 50324439: Dried sunburst mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50324439 Dried sunburst mandarin oranges is a Commodity code covering processed citrus fruit products that state and local governments purchase for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect a broader pattern of school districts and state agencies procuring fresh and processed produce as part of large commodity food contracts, though the specific focus on dried mandarin oranges appears minimal in the available opportunities. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state government procurement offices (Georgia Department of Food Supplies, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller), and municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, with institutional food service for correctional facilities as a secondary market. All solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and school-based buyers impose HACCP certifications, E-Verify authorization, and anti-discrimination compliance.
