UNSPSC 50334446: Dried organic willowleaf mediterranean tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50334446 Dried organic willowleaf mediterranean tangerines, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments purchase primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent solicitations under this code show that school districts and state corrections agencies are acquiring fresh and processed produce as part of broad cafeteria and food-service provisioning, though the opportunities posted do not isolate dried tangerines as a line item but instead bundle them within larger fresh produce and commodity food acquisitions. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia state procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal procurement offices acting on behalf of educational nutrition centers. The Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appears consistently across school nutrition solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia and Texas showing the most recent bidding activity. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories with a June 26, 2026, response deadline and contract period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026, with contract term through June 30, 2027. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with a May 4, 2026, response deadline (extended via addendum from April 21, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items including fresh and canned fruits. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) for dried prunes posted April 23, 2026, with a February 20, 2026, response date shows institutional procurement of dried fruit, though the posting date precedes the response deadline. The code shows limited direct activity specifically for dried tangerines; opportunities tagged under this code primarily involve broader fresh produce and cafeteria commodity solicitations where dried specialty fruits appear as subordinate items rather than primary procurement drivers.
