UNSPSC 50334426: Dried organic natsudaidai mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334426 Dried organic natsudaidai mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass broad fresh and processed food procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services — including fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), proteins, dairy, grains, dried fruits and nuts, and prepared entrees — rather than the narrow category of dried natsudaidai mandarin oranges specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with individual school systems and cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts) posting the majority of solicitations; state departments of criminal justice, county correctional facilities, and county and city nutrition departments also procure under this code. Georgia and Texas show the most recent activity, with additional opportunities in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, encompassing over 200 line items from apples and berries to leafy greens and specialty items with delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases requesting bids for commodities supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center with 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, electronic submissions due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) Child Nutrition Services issuing electronic bids for over 900 grocery items for the 2026-27 school year due April 29, 2026, serving approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants and 900 breakfast participants; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting sealed bids for Master Grocery K-12 services covering weekly delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens and a central warehouse, bid responses due April 27, 2026; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and the County of Santa Clara (California) soliciting bids for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) for its correctional facility food services under ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 with bids due February 5, 2026, with a local business preference of five percent available. Buy American provisions requiring domestic products or minimum domestic ingredient percentages (typically 51 percent for processed items) appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 and include renewal options; pricing is typically firm fixed for the initial term with limited adjustment provisions tied to commodity indices or manufacturer price lists.
