UNSPSC 50334440: Dried organic tangelos

The fruit of a hybrid between a tangerine or mandarin orange and a grapefruit that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334440 Dried organic tangelos is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried tangelos and similar dried fruits through school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and food service operations, though recent solicitations under this specific code show minimal direct activity. The most recent opportunity explicitly naming dried tangelos or closely related dried citrus products did not appear in the recent sample; instead, state and local food service buyers aggregate dried fruits with other commodity food lines in broader produce and grocery procurements. When dried fruits appear as line items, they are typically embedded within larger fresh produce, grocery, or food supply contracts serving K-12 school districts, county corrections departments, and regional food service distributors rather than as standalone specialty items.

State and local education agencies (K-12 school districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, and California) and corrections authorities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office) dominate recent solicitations in this commodity family. The County of Santa Clara issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts supporting the Elmwood Correctional Facility, which explicitly included dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix but did not name tangelos specifically. School district RFPs issued by Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) between January and June 2026 solicited comprehensive fresh and frozen produce lines spanning hundreds of items, with dried fruits occasionally listed but not disaggregated as a procurement focus. The commodity code sees activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, South Carolina) and mid-Atlantic regions, with secondary activity in Texas, California, and Missouri. Pricing on these contracts typically runs firm-fixed for annual terms from July through June, with Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products where applicable and USDA compliance standards throughout.
