UNSPSC 50335005: Dried organic bergamot oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic bergamot oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335005 Dried organic bergamot oranges is a Commodity code that nominally denotes dried bergamot citrus fruit, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal activity directly aligned with this specific commodity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried organic bergamot oranges; instead, the posted bids span fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), whole dried fruits (prunes, dried cranberries, raisins), nuts, and broad food supply contracts for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local buyers—primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools) and correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction)—are soliciting general grocery and produce items through IFB and RFP notices, but dried bergamot oranges do not appear in any of the itemized scopes or line-item descriptions across these contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning 200+ line items of fresh fruits and vegetables with three school delivery sites; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum 76 items from a broad grocery catalog; Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 72 line items across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million; and the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (due February 5, 2026) requesting dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for a correctional facility. The code shows limited relevance to current state and local procurement and warrants close review of actual commodity demand before pursuit.
