UNSPSC 50324445: Dried wilkins tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50324445 Dried wilkins tangerines, a Commodity code, does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a specific dried citrus product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code span broad fresh produce, dried fruits, and institutional food service categories that diverge significantly from the code's narrow scope. The issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, state departments, correctional facilities, and municipal nutrition services across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, California, and Virginia, but the opportunities themselves target fresh apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and a limited number of dried fruit items (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans)—not dried tangerines specifically.

The most recent activity shows school nutrition procurement dominating the category. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce across over 200 line items due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) with sealed bids due April 27, 2026; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid fresh produce and eggs with responses due April 23, 2026. Non-school activity includes the County of Santa Clara (California) ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department Correctional Facility, with bids due February 5, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) with a February 20, 2026 deadline. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in Texas, California, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut. The code's mismatch with actual procurement suggests this is a catch-all classification artifact rather than a live commodity category; dried tangerines do not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed.
