UNSPSC 50325009: Dried blonde oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325009 Dried blonde oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The nominal code name refers to a specific dried citrus product, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad fresh and processed food procurement for school nutrition programs, state facilities, and correctional institutions — including fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and canned goods, with only tangential connection to dried citrus. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent tagging in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for broader food commodity categories that state and local purchasing systems do not classify under a single discrete citrus code.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state purchasing offices (State of Georgia Department of General Services, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing twice in the recent record. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, an IFB posted June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce delivered to three school locations under a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; the City of Bridgeport's COMMODITIES IFB (BNB053266), posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, spanning 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce for school nutrition delivery; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on behalf of TDCJ, posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments for warehouse distribution across five geographic areas in Texas. All opportunities enforce Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products.
