UNSPSC 50334411: Dried organic golden nugget oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334411 Dried organic golden nugget oranges is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific dried citrus product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly procure fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. The actual buying activity under the code encompasses weekly or seasonal fresh-produce supply contracts for K-12 school districts, emergency food procurement for state agencies, and specialized commodity items such as dried fruits and nuts for correctional-facility food services. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) on the school side; city and county agencies also participate, including the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), State of Georgia procurement office, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department (California), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Buy American requirements consistently appear across solicitations, typically mandating at least 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products or domestic sourcing for fresh items.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia school districts particularly active (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County); Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools); Missouri (Rockwood R-VI); Connecticut (Bridgeport); and Texas (TDCJ). Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh-produce line items with delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport commodities procurement (RFQ, due June 26, 2026) covering eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the County of Santa Clara dried fruits and nuts contract (ITB, due February 5, 2026) for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to correctional facilities. Douglas County School System issued two overlapping RFPs—one for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend $5.5 million across 30 districts) and another for main-line food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026, estimated annual spend $9 million for 32 schools). School-nutrition suppliers face firm fixed pricing for 12-month terms, weekly or bi-weekly delivery requirements to multiple school sites during narrow time windows (typically 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekdays), HACCP and food-safety compliance, Buy American certification, and insurance minimums (commonly $1 million commercial general liability). No recent solicitations use this code to specifically solicit dried organic golden nugget oranges or any single citrus variety by name.
