UNSPSC 50324446: Dried willowleaf mediterranean tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50324446 Dried willowleaf mediterranean tangerines, a Commodity code, spans fresh and processed fruit procurement by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other food-service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments purchase this code primarily as part of broader fresh-produce line-item catalogues for institutional cafeterias and nutrition centers—the code itself represents one product within much larger multi-category food acquisitions rather than standalone dried-tangerine contracts. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and state criminal-justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Scope varies by buyer: school nutrition programs typically embed dried fruit within 100+ line-item fresh-produce or commodity solicitations alongside apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty items; corrections departments source food staples including proteins, dairy, grains, and preserved fruits under broader cafeteria-food contracts with detailed USDA grade and packaging specifications. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and HACCP compliance are standard across school and state solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest—Georgia (Hancock County Schools IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Georgia statewide food-supplies IFB PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and Texas (TDCJ cafeteria-food IFB 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026; TDCJ prunes IFB IW236532, amended to February 20, 2026). Connecticut represents the Northeast (Bridgeport Board of Education commodities IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). The Hancock County Schools procurement exemplifies the category: a 200+ line-item fresh-produce IFB covering delivery to three school locations July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with pricing firm for the contract period and sealed-bid opening June 29, 2026. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria-food IFB spans approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and preserved fruits delivered FOB destination to six distribution points, with firm pricing and a contract term through August 31, 2027. Neither the code's abstract name nor the recent opportunities show standalone dried-tangerine demand; dried fruit appears within larger institutional food-service catalogues where pricing and vendor performance drive award rather than product differentiation.
