UNSPSC 50325025: Dried melogold oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325025 Dried melogold oranges is a Commodity code covering dried citrus fruit products purchased by school districts and corrections agencies for food service operations. State and local buyers under this code acquire dried fruit items as components of broader produce and commodity supply contracts, rather than as standalone line items. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the primary issuing bodies in recent activity, both procuring fresh and processed food products for cafeteria and nutrition programs. The code sits within a broader market where school nutrition departments and institutional food service operations source dried fruits alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries through competitive sealed-bid processes. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments and state corrections agencies operating centralized procurement through statewide purchasing divisions.

Recent opportunities show limited isolated activity specifically targeting dried citrus. Hancock County Schools Nutrition issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including citrus fruits (though not specifically dried melogolds), with a due date of June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school sites over the 2026–27 contract year. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 in April 2026 for dried prunes to the Corpus Christi location with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes, response due February 20, 2026, though this solicitation targeted a different dried fruit commodity. Georgia and Texas dominate recent procurement activity under related commodity codes, with school districts and state agencies as the primary buyers. The code shows sparse recent activity specifically for dried melogold oranges; most institutional food service procurement bundles dried fruits into larger commodity contracts rather than soliciting them as discrete line items.
