UNSPSC 50335010: Dried organic blood oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335010 Dried organic blood oranges (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily within school nutrition programs and correctional food service operations, though the recent opportunities shown are dominated by fresh produce, grocery staples, and broader food-supply solicitations rather than dried fruit specifically. School districts represent the dominant issuing body across the code's activity—Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all issued food procurement notices in the first half of 2026. A single correctional facility procurement—Santa Clara County's Elmwood Correctional Facility—also solicited dried fruits and nuts. These issuing bodies procure food products in volume for child nutrition services, typically under annual fixed-price term contracts with performance periods running July through June and renewal options spanning multiple years. Buy American and nutritional compliance requirements are standard across school nutrition solicitations, with delivery to multiple school sites on weekly or scheduled bases and firm pricing maintained throughout the contract term.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where multiple school districts and the state procurement division posted food-related solicitations between late January and mid-June 2026, followed by activity in Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce with a response deadline of June 26, 2026, encompassing over 200 line items across multiple produce categories with delivery to three school locations; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a July 1, 2026 contract start; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) due February 5, 2026, supplying a correctional facility with dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on a five-year term. The code shows no recent solicitations explicitly targeting dried organic blood oranges as a standalone commodity; dried-fruit procurement appears bundled within broader food-supply categories or as component line items rather than as a primary procurement vehicle.
