UNSPSC 50327005: Dried bitter oranges

The type of fruit known as bitter oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327005 Dried bitter oranges (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's abstract definition targets a specific dried citrus product, but the recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried bitter oranges. Instead, state and local education and corrections agencies are procuring fresh produce, whole dried fruits, nuts, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts that span dozens of product categories.

The recent activity in this code's vicinity—rather than directly under it—reflects how school nutrition programs and correctional facilities source food. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including citrus fruits under IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) requested over 400 food items including fresh and frozen fruits due April 29, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for its Department of Correction, due February 5, 2026. Procurement spans school districts, county boards of education, and correctional facilities across Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. However, no issuing body has posted a recent solicitation specifically for dried bitter oranges, and most recent opportunities target broader produce categories, packaged grocery items, or fresh fruit supply rather than specialty dried citrus products. The code warrants monitoring for shift in activity but shows no current traction in the state and local market.
