UNSPSC 50335020: Dried organic kona oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335020 Dried organic kona oranges is a Commodity code whose scope in state and local procurement diverges sharply from its nominal title. Recent opportunities tagged under this code show school districts and state agencies procuring broad fresh and processed produce portfolios for nutrition programs, not dried kona oranges specifically. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and specialty items; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) requested bids on 115 commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products; and the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice both solicited food supplies and cafeteria products covering proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and produce. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state criminal justice agencies, with occasional municipal involvement. These opportunities carry Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, and many require HACCP plans, USDA compliance certifications, and backup inventory for emergency delivery.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas between May and June 2026. The Hancock County Schools fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) called for delivery to three school locations in rural Georgia; Bridgeport's commodities solicitation (due June 26, 2026) was directed to the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas TDCJ cafeteria-products IFB (extended to May 4, 2026) required delivery across six TDCJ distribution points statewide. A separate TDCJ dried-prunes solicitation (bid opening February 20, 2026) specified U.S. Grade B prunes in 60–70 count size with a 1,400-box minimum order. The code shows limited recent activity and a mismatch between its title (dried organic kona oranges) and what is actually being purchased (fresh produce and commodity food items broadly). Vendors should track school-district nutrition RFBs and state food-service contracts directly rather than expecting consistent taxonomy alignment under this commodity designation.
