UNSPSC 50325034: Dried pummulo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325034 Dried pummulo oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses dried citrus fruit products and related dried fruit items procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. While the code's nominal scope specifies dried pummulo oranges, recent state and local solicitations tag broader fresh and processed produce categories under it, reflecting how jurisdictions use UNSPSC codes to bundle related food commodities in nutrition procurement. School districts are the primary buyers under this code, supplemented by state correctional and criminal justice agencies purchasing food for institutional kitchens. The scope of actual work includes fresh citrus fruits, dried fruits, and specialty produce items specified within multi-line-item food service RFPs and IFBs; citrus appears alongside apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, leafy greens, and specialty items in school nutrition solicitations, and dried fruits including prunes feature in correctional-facility food procurement. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of institutional customers.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including citrus fruits for three school delivery sites under a firm fixed-price contract through June 30, 2027, with Buy American domestic-content requirements. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certification applicable and firm fixed pricing through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026.
