UNSPSC 50334418: Dried organic lee mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334418 Dried organic lee mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of fresh and processed produce for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies sourcing fresh produce — apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, and specialty fruits — alongside broader commodity food buys that include dried fruits, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, driven by the Buy American provision under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, which mandates a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and compliance with USDA, USDC, and FDA standards; MBE and CBE certifications apply in some jurisdictions under local ordinances.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce delivery to three school sites with a response date of June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
