UNSPSC 50325010: Dried blood oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325010 Dried blood oranges is a Commodity code that covers individual dried citrus fruits procured for institutional food service — specifically school district nutrition programs, state corrections facilities, and municipal food supply chains. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts and corrections departments buying dried produce alongside fresh fruits and vegetables as part of broader meal-service procurement. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB for Fresh Produce SY27 (due June 26, 2026) itemizes citrus fruits within a 200-line-item fresh-produce scope, though the notice does not isolate dried blood oranges by name. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) encompasses canned and fresh fruits across five geographic distribution areas. These solicitations reveal that dried fruit procurement sits within larger institutional food-service contracts where dried items compete alongside fresh alternatives, and issuing bodies typically bundle dried produce into broader commodity categories rather than isolate single SKUs.

The recent activity concentrates in school districts and corrections systems in Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate the recent record, with the TDCJ also soliciting individual dried-fruit line items such as prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's June 26, 2026 commodities IFB for its Board of Education Nutrition Center and the State of Georgia's food-supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) indicate broader geographic spread, though neither highlights dried blood oranges specifically. No recent opportunity names dried blood oranges as a standalone line item or primary focus; the code appears to sit within larger fresh and dried fruit categories rather than drive standalone procurement.
