UNSPSC 50325019: Dried k-early oranges

The variety of oranges known as k-early oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325019 Dried k-early oranges, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity among state and local buyers. The code's nominal scope—dried citrus fruit products—does not align with the actual procurement activity recorded in the recent opportunities block, which comprises school nutrition contracts for fresh produce, general grocery supplies, and proteins, with no solicitations specifically targeting dried oranges or comparable dried citrus products. One opportunity mentions dried fruits more broadly: Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply a correctional facility included dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix, but not dried oranges. The remaining ten recent opportunities span school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and Georgia state procurement, all focused on fresh produce, general grocery inventory, and food service distribution rather than dried citrus procurement.

The issuing-body mix reflects school nutrition and institutional food service operations concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut, with no pattern of repeat solicitations under this specific code. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (six opportunities across multiple school districts and state-level procurement), Texas (two opportunities for TDCJ and Comptroller procurement), and scattered activity in Connecticut, California, Missouri, and Virginia. No recent opportunities document procurement of dried k-early oranges or dried oranges under any variant. School districts consistently bid fresh produce through IFB or RFP mechanisms with response dates clustered in April through June 2026, typically for annual July-June contracts, but these solicitations uniformly exclude dried citrus items. The absence of documented demand for dried oranges at the state and local level—coupled with the code's mismatch to what institutional buyers are actually purchasing—signals limited current pursuit opportunity under this specific commodity classification.
