UNSPSC 50334404: Dried organic dancy tangerines

The variety of organic mandarin oranges and tangerines known as organic dancy tangerines that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334404 Dried organic dancy tangerines is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy dried fruit products under this code primarily to supply school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing dried fruits as components of broader fresh produce, grocery, and food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items; dried fruits appear alongside fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, and prepared foods in multi-category food procurement solicitations. Institutional buyers including correctional departments also procure dried fruits and nuts for inmate food services. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (ranging from small county systems to large metropolitan districts), state departments overseeing institutional food service, county correctional facilities, and regional cooperative buying organizations. School districts represent the dominant buyer category, with recent activity spanning Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Santa Clara County correctional food services (California).

Recent opportunities show dried-fruit procurement concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, particularly Georgia and Virginia, with additional activity in Missouri and California. The Santa Clara County correctional facility ITB for dried fruits and nuts (issued January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) is the most directly relevant recent solicitation, requesting dried raisins (5,880 cases annually), dried cranberries (1,000 cases annually), and dried tropical fruit mix blend (3,000 cases annually) on an all-or-none basis with a five-year contract term, firm fixed pricing for Year 1, and optional annual increases in Years 2–5 capped at a bidder-specified percentage. Most school-district food solicitations list dried fruits as minor line items within larger grocery or fresh-produce contracts (such as Rockwood R-VI's 900-line-item grocery procurement or Fairfax County's Master Grocery K-12 contract), making standalone dried-fruit opportunities relatively scarce. Buy American Act compliance with domestic-product preferences and USDA nutritional standards (zero added sugars, 110–125 calories per serving) are standard requirements across correctional and school food solicitations.
