UNSPSC 50325030: Dried oro blanco oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325030 Dried oro blanco oranges, a Commodity code, covers dried citrus fruits and related preserved citrus products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies buying dried citrus as part of broader fresh and processed produce line items for cafeteria operations, though the specific dried oro blanco variety itself has not appeared as a standalone line item in recent solicitations. Instead, solicitations under this code family typically list citrus fruits—fresh lemons, limes, oranges—alongside dozens of other produce categories, or they reference dried fruits as part of larger commodity baskets without itemizing individual varieties. School districts, state corrections departments, and municipal nutrition centers dominate the issuing bodies pursuing produce contracts, with school lunch programs driving the highest volume of activity due to Buy American requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act mandating domestic sourcing where practical.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with response due June 26, 2026, covering delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a broader commodities bid (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, requesting 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, with responses extended to May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) from April 2026 specifically procured dried prunes, indicating state corrections agencies do source dried fruits independently, though dried oro blanco oranges as a named commodity have not surfaced in the most recent posting activity.
