UNSPSC 50334438: Dried organic satsuma mandarin oranges

Any of several cultivated mandarin trees that bear medium-sized largely seedless fruits with thin smooth skin that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334438 Dried organic satsuma mandarin oranges, a Commodity code, covers citrus fruits preserved through drying and sold to state and local education and correctional agencies for nutritional programs and food service. State and local governments buying under this code procure dried fruits as commodity line items within broad fresh and processed produce solicitations for school nutrition centers, prison food services, and state institutional cafeterias. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state departments of corrections, which source dried fruits alongside fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, and dairy products under single large-format IFBs. Dried citrus appears as a discrete line item within multi-category food commodity buys rather than as a standalone product category.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple produce categories for the 2026–27 school year, delivery to three school sites with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities (BNB053266) with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027, under MBE/CBE certification rules. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended response deadline), covering approximately 382 food commodity line items for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five geographic areas, with contract term through August 31, 2027 and optional one-year renewals. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, with scope detailed in attached documents. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products apply across school lunch solicitations. No solicitation in the available records explicitly names dried satsuma mandarin oranges as a line item, suggesting the code sees activity primarily when sourced as part of broader commodity aggregations rather than as a standalone specification.
