UNSPSC 50334417: Dried organic kinnow oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334417 Dried organic kinnow oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized dried citrus products procured primarily by school districts and correctional facilities as components of broader food service supply contracts, though state and local governments rarely solicit this item as a standalone line. Recent opportunities show that when dried kinnow oranges or related dried citrus products appear in state and local solicitations, they are typically bundled within master grocery or fresh produce agreements serving child nutrition programs, correctional food services, or county meal programs. Issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts (elementary, middle, and high schools), county boards of education, and state correctional agencies. School districts dominate the activity, driven by USDA National School Lunch Program requirements and Buy American provisions mandating domestic or substantially domestic-processed food products. Dried fruit specifications frequently appear in broader produce categories alongside fresh produce, frozen items, and specialty goods within annual contracts running July through June fiscal years with firm fixed pricing.

Recent solicitation activity is concentrated in Georgia and the broader Southeast region, with secondary activity in Texas, California, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB on June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for SY27, specifying multiple fruit categories alongside fresh produce; the County of Santa Clara (California) issuing an ITB on February 5, 2026, for dried fruits and nuts including dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes for correctional food services; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP on February 18, 2026, for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual estimated spending. The code shows minimal standalone procurement activity; dried kinnow oranges or equivalent dried citrus products surface as line items within larger commodity buys rather than as sole-source acquisitions. Buy American compliance, USDA grade certification, HACCP food safety protocols, and firm fixed pricing across 12-month contract periods are standard requirements across jurisdictions.
