UNSPSC 50335021: Dried organic late navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335021 Dried organic late navel oranges is a Commodity code representing a narrow, specialized food product category for which state and local procurement activity is minimal to negligible. Recent solicitation records show no direct opportunities for dried organic navel oranges; instead, state and local buying under nominally related codes focuses on fresh produce, frozen fruits, mixed dried fruits and nuts, and broad-based school nutrition supply contracts. The few opportunities that touch dried fruit procurement—such as Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) and Douglas County School System's RFP for main-line food service distribution—do not isolate dried organic late navel oranges as a discrete line item or performance requirement. School districts, county corrections departments, and state food service operations appear to bundle dried fruit into larger commodity purchasing vehicles or to source specific dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, mixed blends) rather than to conduct standalone procurements for a single dried citrus product.

The broader ecosystem of state and local food procurement remains active across school districts in Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California, with school nutrition programs dominating the volume. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI Schools (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice all issued RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for food products between January and June 2026, but these opportunities specify fresh produce, packaged groceries, proteins, and commodity staples rather than specialty dried citrus items. The absence of recent procurement activity specifically for dried organic late navel oranges suggests this commodity does not align with current state and local demand, buyer specifications, or aggregated supply models, making pursuit of this code unlikely to yield near-term contract opportunities.
