UNSPSC 50324444: Dried wekiwa tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50324444 Dried wekiwa tangerines is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of dried wekiwa tangerines specifically. Instead, the code appears to be applied to broader fresh and processed produce categories within school nutrition and correctional-facility food-service contracts. Hancock County Schools in Georgia is soliciting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, with over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items—all fresh, not dried. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases is requesting bids for commodities to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, covering 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued multiple IFBs for cafeteria food products and specific dried items (whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality), with the latter more aligned with the code's nominal scope. School districts and correctional agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with all noted opportunities tied to meal-service procurement rather than retail or bulk dried-fruit sales.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) posted its produce bid June 10, 2026, with responses due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport also has a June 26, 2026 deadline for its nutrition commodities IFB. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. TDCJ has been the most active buyer under this code, issuing the cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) for delivery to six distribution points across Texas, and a separate IFB for dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026). All solicitations require compliance with the Buy American Provision (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP or food-safety certifications, and proof of business registration and insurance. The code shows recent activity but a mismatch between the nominal commodity (dried wekiwa tangerines) and what is actually being procured (fresh produce and general food-service supplies).
