UNSPSC 50335006: Dried organic berna oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335006 Dried organic berna oranges is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow range of dried citrus products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities as part of broader food-service supply contracts. The code sees minimal standalone solicitation activity; the recent opportunities block contains no dedicated bids for dried organic berna oranges, and the code appears underutilized or misaligned with actual procurement patterns. School districts and state departments procuring produce and food commodities typically aggregate citrus — fresh and dried — into larger fresh-produce or general food-supply IFBs rather than issue category-specific requests. When dried citrus does appear, it is embedded within multipurpose food and supply contracts spanning proteins, grains, dairy, canned goods, and fresh items, and vendors compete on an item-by-item basis rather than on dried citrus alone.

Recent activity shows school nutrition programs in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing broad food-service IFBs with response dates in May and June 2026 — Hancock County Board of Education (Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Commodities, due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (Food, Supplies, and Other Kitchen Products, due June 22, 2026), and TDCJ (Cafeteria Food Products IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026). All enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products. None of these opportunities explicitly lists dried organic berna oranges as a line item, and the code's actual purchase volume in state and local nutrition procurement cannot be determined from the available data. Vendors should verify whether specific procurement offices are requesting this commodity under alternative UNSPSC codes or bundled into generic fruit or organic-produce categories before allocating resources to this code.
