UNSPSC 50325007: Dried bigaradier apepu oranges

The variety of oranges known as bigaradier apepu oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325007 Dried bigaradier apepu oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of dried citrus fruit and specialty produce items for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a much broader scope than the code name alone suggests — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food supply chains are buying fresh and processed produce across dozens of categories including citrus, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, leafy greens, and specialty fruits, with some procurement spanning fresh produce exclusively and others bundling dried fruits, canned vegetables, and processed protein alongside fresh commodity items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) both soliciting multi-hundred-line-item produce tenders in June 2026; state agencies including the State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also procure under related food commodity codes, expanding scope to institutional correctional and other public dining operations.

Georgia and Texas show the strongest recent activity, with Hancock County Schools posting an IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, kiwis, mangos, papayas, starfruit) with delivery to three school sites and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the State of Georgia also solicited food and kitchen supplies with a June 22, 2026 response date. Connecticut's City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) supplying the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center with 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under Buy American and MBE/CBE compliance requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and produce for multiple warehouse locations. All school-based solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products and mandate HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and compliance with nutritional standards.
