UNSPSC 50325040: Dried seville oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325040 Dried seville oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses dried citrus products and related specialty ingredients procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. While the code's nominal scope names dried seville oranges specifically, recent state and local activity shows that school districts and state agencies solicit dried and fresh produce under broader UNSPSC families that capture the full range of nutrition program sourcing — fresh citrus alongside apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, and leafy greens for school lunch programs, and dried fruits including prunes for institutional food service. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including citrus fruits, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for dried prunes, illustrate the institutional procurement patterns. School districts, state corrections departments, and state nutrition agencies are the primary issuing bodies under related produce codes; these entities operate multi-site delivery networks and maintain firm pricing across contract periods that typically run July to June or calendar year. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products and USDA grade certifications are standard compliance requirements across these solicitations.

Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity in this commodity family. The Hancock County Schools IFB (Georgia) with response due June 26, 2026, and the Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (Texas Comptroller, response due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) represent the two largest recent institutional procurements naming specific dried and fresh produce line items. The State of Georgia issued a broader food supplies IFB with due date June 22, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center (response due June 26, 2026). The TDCJ prunes solicitation (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) specifically called for U.S. Grade B dried prunes in 60-70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1. Geographic spread includes the Southeast (Georgia), South (Texas), and Northeast (Connecticut), with state-level procurement activity in Georgia.
