UNSPSC 50325021: Dried late navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325021 Dried late navel oranges is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader fresh and processed fruit procurement activity of state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and public institutions. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement tagged to this specific dried citrus commodity; the code appears underutilized relative to the broad-based produce and food-service contracting activity across K-12 school districts, county corrections systems, and state agencies. When dried citrus products do appear in recent solicitations, they are bundled within larger master grocery, fresh produce, or dried-fruit-and-nuts line-item aggregations rather than tendered as standalone commodity contracts. The issuing bodies active in the broader produce and food-service space—school districts, county sheriffs' departments, state corrections systems, and institutional food services—procure dried fruits as part of consolidated nutrition or bulk food supply agreements, with pricing and delivery terms negotiated at the line-item level within those larger scopes.

Recent opportunities reveal a geographic and issuing-body mix concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary activity in California. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including citrus varieties for the 2026-27 school year under IFB due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued a grocery-items IFB covering over 900 line items for April 29, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) tendered dried fruits and nuts for correctional food services under ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026. Douglas County School System (Georgia) and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) each posted master grocery or food supply RFPs in early 2026 spanning thousands of line items across produce, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued separate IFBs for cafeteria food products and commodity sourcing; Liberty County Schools and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (both Georgia) posted fresh-produce and food-supply contracts. Dried late navel oranges do not appear as a standalone line item in any recent posting; pursue this code only when a specific school district or institutional buyer surfaces a direct need for dried citrus in a presolicitation discussion or formal RFP.
