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 covering specific dried citrus products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other institutional food services. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying dried fruits and processed citrus as part of broader food commodity contracts that supply school lunch programs, state institutional cafeterias, and criminal justice system nutrition centers. The sourcing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple end users. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of fresh and processed produce procurement where school nutrition programs and institutional food services treat dried fruits as one line item among hundreds in consolidated commodity bids.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) that encompasses citrus fruits alongside apples, berries, and leafy greens for delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, posted separate IFBs: one for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) and a narrower IFB specifically for whole pitted dried prunes (posted April 23, 2026, due February 20, 2026). All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products and require sealed bids with firm fixed pricing for the full contract term, HACCP plans or equivalent food safety documentation, and commercial general liability insurance.
