UNSPSC 50334433: Dried organic ponkan bantangas mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334433 Dried organic ponkan bantangas mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific citrus product, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code show little activity aligned with that narrow scope. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly school districts and correctional facilities procuring broad fresh produce and food supply contracts, not the specialized dried citrus product the code name suggests. Recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Santa Clara County (California) span hundreds of food line items—fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and processed items—rather than dried mandarin oranges specifically. A January 2026 Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts at a correctional facility required dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis, but mandarin oranges were not listed. The code appears to carry inconsistent or overly narrow taxonomy tagging relative to what jurisdictions actually source through school nutrition and corrections food service contracts.

School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with the majority of opportunities coming from Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems), followed by Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026), covering over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three school sites; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323 posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026), establishing grocery product supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026), a $9 million annual food service operation serving approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools. School nutrition procurement dominates; correctional facility food service appears less frequently. The code's actual current use does not align cleanly with its product description, suggesting either misclassification in source systems or that buyers are using the code as a catch-all for broader produce and food supply categories.
