UNSPSC 50325044: Dried washington navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50325044 Dried washington navel oranges is a Commodity code used to procure dried citrus products, though recent state and local opportunities show that fresh citrus and mixed fresh produce dominate solicitations tagged with this code rather than dried navel oranges specifically. School districts and corrections agencies are the primary buyers, issuing IFBs and RFPs for cafeteria and nutrition services. Hancock County Schools in Georgia solicited fresh produce including citrus for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education requested commodity products spanning fruits and vegetables; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and State of Georgia both posted bids for food products and supplies. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and require HACCP plans, USDA grade certification, nutritional documentation, and commercial general liability insurance. Vendors must deliver on FOB Destination terms, maintain firm pricing for the contract period (typically twelve months with optional renewals), and accept payment Net 30 to Net 45 days after invoice.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) required delivery to three school sites and bid opening on June 29, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases accepted electronic bids through the OpenGov portal for the Nutrition Center with a June 26, 2026 deadline and delivery between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Texas TDCJ issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas with a May 4, 2026 deadline and estimated quantities based on prior-year usage. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with scope and pricing in an attached PDF. A single TDCJ prunes solicitation (IFB IW236532, due February 20, 2026) specified 1,400 boxes minimum for the Corpus location, but the majority of recent opportunities focus on mixed fresh or processed produce rather than dried citrus alone, suggesting the code may not closely align with current procurement intent in school nutrition and institutional food service.
