UNSPSC 50325001: Dried african sour oranges

The variety of oranges known as african sour oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325001 Dried African sour oranges, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent procurement activity in state and local government. The code's abstract commodity scope—a highly specialized dried citrus product—does not align with the actual work state and local buyers are conducting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve broad fresh produce, grocery staples, and meal-service procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school districts, with no identifiable solicitations specifically requesting dried African sour oranges or even dried citrus products as a line item. School districts dominate the issuing bodies in the sample, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), along with the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California.

Representative recent opportunities reveal the actual procurement pattern. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, requesting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026—spanning over 200 fresh produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruits, melons, and specialty items, but no dried citrus. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (June 2, 2026) solicited commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center via electronic bid due June 26, 2026, encompassing eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products. Santa Clara County (January 28, 2026) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts serving a correctional facility, due February 5, 2026, requesting dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix—dried fruits but not dried African sour oranges specifically. The code appears to be a catch-all placeholder in procurement databases for rare or specialty dried citrus imports; actual state and local purchasing under nearby codes focuses on mainstream fresh produce, staple groceries, and commodity proteins for schools and public institutions, not imported specialty dried fruits.
