UNSPSC 50334428: Dried organic nocatee tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334428 Dried organic nocatee tangelo oranges is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with this narrow product specification. The code name references a specific dried citrus product, yet the most recent solicitations are for fresh produce, general food commodities, and cafeteria supplies spanning hundreds of line items — berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and other staples — rather than dried tangelo oranges specifically. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and local education nutrition programs. The work being solicited includes fresh produce for school meal programs, commodity foods for cafeteria operations, and supplies for institutional food service. The mismatch between the code's nominal product and what is actually being bought suggests either a tagging error or that the code has been repurposed within state and local procurement systems.

Geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with a May 2026 solicitation from the State of Georgia and June 2026 IFBs from Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB in May 2026 (Solicitation 304T26300CF) for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with a June 22 response deadline, and a separate bid in April 2026 (Solicitation IW236532) for dried prunes. The Hancock County Schools IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013) closed June 26, 2026, and covers over 200 line items of fresh produce with delivery to three school locations and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport's commodities IFB (BNB053266) was also due June 26, 2026, with 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center and a contract term through June 30, 2027.
