UNSPSC 50335019: Dried organic k-early oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic k-early oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335019 Dried organic k-early oranges (Commodity) appears in state and local school nutrition procurement, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for the product itself. The two most concrete recent opportunities — Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year and the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid for school nutrition — both solicit broad produce and food baskets that include citrus and dried fruits among many other items, rather than dried oranges specifically. School districts and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies for produce and food supply contracts under this code tier. Scope typically encompasses fresh and processed produce for cafeteria operations, with line items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits alongside processed foods, dairy, and proteins. Contracts generally run for one school year (July through June) with firm pricing, delivery to multiple school sites, Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items, compliance with USDA grade standards, HACCP documentation, and insurance requirements.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut based on recent postings, with additional activity in Texas driven by state criminal-justice food procurement (TDCJ cafeteria supplies and whole dried prunes). Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with responses due June 26, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted commodity bids with the same June 26, 2026 deadline through the OpenGov Procurement Portal. Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with the extended due date of May 4, 2026. TDCJ also separately procured whole dried prunes (Bid IW236532) with an original February 20, 2026 due date. The code shows limited recent specificity to dried oranges alone; state and local buyers treat dried fruits as one line item within broader food-service aggregates rather than standalone commodity buys.
