UNSPSC 50325011: Dried california navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325011 Dried California Navel Oranges is a Commodity code that describes single-product dried-fruit procurement, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad fresh and processed food supply to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state agencies rather than fresh or dried citrus specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), county sheriffs' departments (Santa Clara County, California), state departments of criminal justice (Texas), and state education procurement (Georgia). The kinds of work being solicited are annual food supply contracts encompassing hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items—fresh produce bids dominate the recent activity, with several school districts soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supplies alongside other food categories, while one correctional facility bid specifically targets dried fruits and nuts.

Recent solicitations show strongest activity in Georgia and bordering states, with Hancock County Schools (IFB for fresh produce including citrus, due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB for 400+ food items including fresh and frozen fruits, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (bid for 72 fresh produce items, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026) all posted in early 2026. Outside Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri solicited 900+ grocery line items (due April 29, 2026), and Santa Clara County, California solicited dried fruits and nuts for a correctional facility (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026). Texas TDCJ posted two food procurement bids: a broad cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF with extended due date of May 4, 2026 for multiple TDCJ warehouse locations) and a single-item prunes solicitation (IFB IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026). The code shows robust recent activity but reflects misalignment between the narrow commodity definition (dried California navel oranges) and the actual purchasing pattern, which treats it as a catch-all for school and institutional food supply rather than fresh or dried citrus alone.
