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 representing specialized dried citrus products sourced for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal activity specifically aligned with the nominal commodity description. The two recent opportunities explicitly posted under this code—a Texas Department of Criminal Justice dried prunes solicitation (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) and a broader Georgia state food supplies RFP (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026)—indicate that public bodies use this code to procure dried fruit products for correctional and institutional feeding programs rather than bergamot oranges specifically. The broader activity in the code family reflects school districts and state agencies sourcing fresh produce and processed foods for nutrition programs, but the commodity tier shows limited recent volume: only one dried-fruit-specific solicitation appears in the recent window, suggesting either infrequent procurement cycles or potential miscoding of opportunities that nominally target this UNSPSC designation.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas and Georgia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted the dried prunes bid with performance at Corpus Christi; Georgia's state procurement office issued the broader food supplies solicitation with statewide scope. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education) dominate the recent RFP and IFB traffic in related fresh-produce codes within the family, but they typically solicit under fresh-commodity codes rather than under dried-fruit designations. Bidders evaluating this Commodity code should note that recent solicitation volume under 50335005 specifically is sparse, and opportunities may be intermittent or mislabeled in procurement systems. The institutional buyers present—TDCJ, state agriculture departments, and school nutrition programs—are repeat players in the broader food procurement space, but activity under this specific dried-bergamot code does not support a strong pipeline for business development purposes at this time.
