UNSPSC 50325020: Dried kona oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325020 Dried kona oranges, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its nominal scope. School districts and state agencies soliciting fresh produce and food commodities under related codes are actively procuring citrus fruits, but the opportunities captured do not specifically target dried kona oranges. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce including citrus fruits for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids on food commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026); both solicitations cover multiple fresh and processed fruit categories but do not isolate dried kona oranges as a line item. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued solicitations for cafeteria food products and specific dried fruits such as prunes, indicating institutional demand for dried fruit items within corrections and school nutrition programs. However, the available recent-opportunities record does not surface a dedicated solicitation specifically for dried kona oranges at the state, county, city, or school-district level.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Northeast, with Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut representing the most recent postings. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple food commodity bids in 2026, including prunes (due February 20, 2026) and cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). School nutrition programs and corrections departments are the primary institutional buyers in this commodity space. Because the code does not align with specific solicitations captured in the recent-opportunities block, vendors should monitor school-nutrition and institutional-food RFPs and IFBs more broadly; dried kona oranges, if procured, are likely bundled into larger fresh-fruit or dried-fruit line items within multi-category food solicitations rather than purchased as a standalone commodity line.
