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 is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried citrus fruits for school nutrition programs and correctional food services. The recent solicitations show school districts and corrections agencies buying dried and processed fruits as components of broader grocery, produce, and cafeteria-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code itself appears rarely in state and local opportunities, with the representative recent solicitations framing dried fruits as minor line items within larger food-service procurement families that span fresh produce, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related dried-fruit categories include county school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Rockwood R-VI Schools in Missouri) and county corrections departments (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department in California, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with a secondary presence in correctional facility food services.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast (Georgia, with Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and Hancock County Schools all posting between February and June 2026) and scattered instances in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and West (Fairfax County Virginia in April 2026; Rockwood R-VI Missouri in March 2026; Santa Clara County California in January 2026). The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for Dried Fruits and Nuts, due February 5, 2026, explicitly includes dried cranberries and tropical fruit mix as standalone commodities for Elmwood Correctional Facility with estimated annual volumes of 1,000–3,000 cases per item; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF for Cafeteria Food Products (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) includes dried fruits as minor line items within a 382-item scope spanning proteins, grains, and condiments. School districts treat dried fruits and citrus as ancillary items within master grocery and produce-supply IFBs and RFPs, not as primary procurement targets. Activity remains episodic and modest in volume compared to fresh produce and main-line food-service supply contracts.
