UNSPSC 50335007: Dried organic bigaradier apepu oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335007 Dried organic bigaradier apepu oranges, a Commodity code, nominally represents a specific dried fruit product but shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. School nutrition programs and institutional food services soliciting under this code are procuring fresh produce and cafeteria food products, not dried citrus. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and leafy greens for the 2026-27 school year, with delivery to three school sites and Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic content in processed products. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut similarly solicited commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under MBE/CBE preferences and Buy American requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also procured dried prunes (Bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026) in Grade B quality with USDA certification, and solicited broader cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) for five TDCJ warehouse locations covering 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce with firm pricing on FOB Destination terms.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and corrections facilities (TDCJ). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the Texas procurement notably serving statewide warehouse distribution. The code shows little recent activity directly targeting dried organic citrus—the single dried fruit record (prunes) falls outside the code's nominal scope—suggesting the UNSPSC classification does not reflect actual procurement patterns in school nutrition and institutional food services. Business development professionals should verify whether dried orange products align with agency nutrition specifications or cooperative purchasing agreements before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code.
