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 that nominally describes a specific dried citrus product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with the commodity name. The code appears in school nutrition and institutional food service procurement, but these opportunities span broad fresh and processed produce categories — fresh apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees — rather than dried tunis oranges specifically. School districts and correctional facilities are the dominant issuing bodies; the code's scope extends to comprehensive grocery supply and fresh produce contracts where dried fruits are one line item among hundreds. The actual purchasing activity under this code encompasses fresh produce for K-12 school nutrition programs, food service for state corrections, and county-level institutional feeding, all of which require multiple produce and protein categories, not dried oranges alone.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with delivery due by June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education Nutrition Center solicited commodities including produce and proteins via electronic bid due June 26, 2026 under IFB BNB053266. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) released IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering multiple delivery sites, due April 27, 2026. The County of Santa Clara (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to its Department of Correction on February 5, 2026, and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) released RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately nine million dollars, due February 18, 2026. The code assignment appears to be a taxonomic mismatch; the recent solicitations are broadly categorized produce and food service procurement rather than dried tunis oranges specifically.
