UNSPSC 50325042: Dried tunis oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325042 Dried tunis oranges is a Commodity code covering dried citrus fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition and correctional institution food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show this code tags opportunities where school districts and state agencies source fresh and dried produce as part of broader food-service contracts rather than dried oranges as a standalone line item. The Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year itemized over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, and specialty items—with delivery to three school locations and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB in June 2026 for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and delivery through June 30, 2027 at Net 45 payment terms. Both solicitations mandate compliance with the Buy American Provision under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products. The State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued food commodity IFBs in May–June 2026, indicating broader state-agency procurement activity in this space.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas school districts and state correctional agencies. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB closed June 26, 2026, the City of Bridgeport IFB closed June 26, 2026, the State of Georgia food supplies IFB closed June 22, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB closed May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21 via Addendum No. 2). A separate TDCJ dried-prunes solicitation (IW236532) for 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes at the Corpus location had a due date of February 20, 2026, indicating year-round procurement cycles across correctional food service. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district and state agency nutrition RFQ and IFB cycles, particularly in states with large correctional or school-lunch populations, and maintain USDA grade certifications, HACCP plans, Buy American documentation, and proof of domestic sourcing to remain competitive.
