UNSPSC 50334443: Dried organic thornton oranges

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

UNSPSC 50334443 Dried organic thornton oranges is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single dried citrus fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with this specific commodity. The available opportunities record school districts, county correctional facilities, and state agencies soliciting fresh produce, grocery staples, and dried fruits through broad food service contracts, but no solicitations specifically for dried organic thornton oranges have posted. The Georgia and Texas school nutrition programs, along with Santa Clara County's correctional facility, have issued bids for dried fruit categories including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes, yet thornton oranges do not appear in any of the itemized scopes. School districts across Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut are the dominant issuing bodies, typically procuring under annual IFB or RFP notices with response dates ranging from February through June 2026, but these solicitations cast substantially wider nets—encompassing hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods rather than targeting dried citrus specifically.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with recent IFBs from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, alongside the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) and County of Santa Clara (California). Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 produce line items with delivery to three school sites, the Douglas County Schools RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) covering 72 items across two geographic areas with an estimated $5.5 million annual spend, and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) specifying raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, walnuts, and pecans but not thornton oranges. The code shows little relevant recent activity; dried organic thornton oranges do not appear as a requested commodity in any posted opportunity, suggesting minimal current market demand under this specific classification.
