UNSPSC 50334420: Dried organic malvasios oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334420 Dried organic malvasios oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation record shows minimal activity directly aligned with this specific commodity. State and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities represent the primary institutional buyers under this code family, procuring dried fruits as components of broader food-service contracts that also include fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted recent food procurement solicitations during the May–June 2026 window, but only one opportunity—a Texas TDCJ dried-prunes bid (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026)—directly named a specific dried-fruit commodity. School districts and state corrections agencies dominate the issuing-body mix for dried-fruit procurement, with individual nutrition centers or distributed warehouse systems as the point of delivery and consumption.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with the Texas TDCJ representing the most granular recent dried-fruit opportunity. The Texas TDCJ dried-prunes solicitation called for U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count size, packed in sealed food-grade polybags within 25-pound boxes, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Corpus Christi delivery and USDA grade certification required; this contract is closed as of the February 20, 2026 deadline. Broader produce and food-service bids—such as Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items of fresh and specialty fruits) and the City of Bridgeport's commodities solicitation (115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, also due June 26, 2026)—include produce categories that may encompass dried fruits, but the dried-malvasios orange commodity itself does not appear in the recent posted opportunities. Buy American and domestic-sourcing provisions dominate compliance language across all recent school-nutrition and corrections solicitations in this family.
