UNSPSC 50325018: Dried jincheng oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325018 Dried jincheng oranges is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a single citrus product, but the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect active procurement of dried jincheng oranges specifically. Instead, the code's recent solicitation activity centers on broad fresh and processed food procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, with dried fruits appearing only tangentially in one county jail contract. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) solicits over 200 line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and specialty items for school delivery; the Bridgeport Board of Education commodities RFQ (due June 26, 2026) covers eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products; and the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) seeks raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans for correctional food services. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools) and county correctional or detention facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). A state education agency (Georgia Department of Education) and a municipal purchasing office (City of Bridgeport) also issued broader food commodity solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with multiple school district IFBs and RFPs posted between February and June 2026 (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), and secondary activity in California (Santa Clara County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), and Texas (TDCJ). The code shows little current pursuit of dried jincheng oranges as a standalone commodity—the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation activity suggests this particular code either carries legacy classification or sees minimal targeted procurement under its specific product descriptor at the state and local level right now. Vendors focused on dried citrus products should monitor broader dried fruit and nut opportunities such as the Santa Clara County ITB, which explicitly sought dried fruits for institutional food service, but should not expect activity specifically tagged to this code's narrow commodity definition.
