UNSPSC 50325035: Dried rhode red oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325035 Dried Rhode Red Oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses dried citrus fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food-service operations. Recent state and local opportunities reveal that purchasing under this code focuses on fresh and dried produce for institutional cafeterias and nutrition centers rather than dried oranges specifically. School districts and state agencies solicit produce through IFB and RFP notices that bundle dried and fresh citrus with broader fresh-produce and commodity food categories. Issuing bodies include county school boards, city boards of education, state departments, and state correctional systems. Contracts typically run for one school or fiscal year with firm pricing, Buy American compliance requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP and food-safety certifications, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on FOB destination terms.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (including citrus) due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations over a July 2026–June 2027 contract period. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (115 line items, electronic submission via OpenGov, due June 26, 2026, through June 30, 2027). The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products RFP due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (382 line items, extended due date May 4, 2026, with a contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional renewals). TDCJ also issued Bid No. IW236532 for dried prunes (a related dried fruit), with a revised due date of February 20, 2026.
