UNSPSC 50334432: Dried organic pixie oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334432 Dried organic pixie oranges is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried citrus product, but recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows little relevance to the code's stated scope. The most recent opportunities posted against this code actually solicit broad fresh-produce and food-commodity supplies for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities — including fresh apples, berries, vegetables, meats, dairy, and grains — rather than dried organic pixie oranges specifically. School districts and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations structured as IFBs and IFBs for multi-item food contracts covering dozens to hundreds of line items with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), and delivery to multiple designated locations. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either a tagging error in the posting system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for food-commodity procurement when a more precise classification is unavailable.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB due June 26, 2026, for over 200 fresh-produce line items across apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits for school delivery during the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a parallel commodities IFB on the same date covering 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for school nutrition. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026, due date, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple facilities with response due May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ procurement for whole pitted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026, due date (already closed) is the only posting approaching the code's stated dried-fruit scope. School boards, state purchasing divisions, and correctional-system procurement offices are the repeat buyers under this code, all enforcing Buy American provisions and requiring HACCP plans, food-safety certifications, or USDA compliance documentation.
