UNSPSC 50334406: Dried organic fairchild oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334406 Dried organic fairchild oranges is a Commodity code that captures fresh and dried produce supplied to school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity explicitly naming dried fairchild oranges and instead reflect broad fresh produce procurement spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories. School districts and state corrections departments issue the primary solicitations, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of recent activity; issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia), city boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and state-managed correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The scope of work encompasses acquisition of fresh citrus, berries, root vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty produce items in bulk quantities for meal preparation and distribution, often under Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. School nutrition contracts typically specify firm pricing over a full fiscal year with delivery to multiple school sites and stringent food-safety requirements including HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and USDA compliance; correctional facility procurement similarly demands detailed product specifications, USDA grade certifications, and fixed pricing across multiple distribution points.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Department of Public Purchases posted commodities procurement on June 2, 2026, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items of produce and other food products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, with response due June 22, 2026, with full details in the attached solicitation document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items with responses due May 4, 2026, extended to June 22, 2026, via Addendum No. 2, spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and produce for multiple TDCJ warehouse locations. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532, posted April 23, 2026) addressed whole pitted dried prunes for the Corpus Christi location with a February 20, 2026, response date, though this opportunity post-dated its own deadline at posting.
