UNSPSC 50335024: Dried organic marr oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335024 Dried organic marr oranges, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried fruit products procured by state and local education and corrections authorities primarily through school nutrition programs and detention facility food services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dried and fresh produce in bulk for K–12 nutrition programs, but the specific UNSPSC code for dried oranges appears rarely in the recent-opportunities dataset—the code name suggests a niche product category that does not align prominently with the broader fresh and dried fruit procurement activity documented in the source. School districts, counties, state corrections departments, and cooperative purchasing groups dominate the issuing body mix, with school nutrition programs accounting for the largest share of recent procurements. Scope under related codes spans fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus), dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, prunes), nuts, and staple grocery items for cafeteria operations and inmate feeding.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools, and state procurement), South Carolina, and Connecticut (Bridgeport)—with secondary activity in California (Santa Clara County corrections), Texas (TDCJ procurement), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI Schools). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 produce line items for school nutrition; Liberty County Schools' food products IFB (due April 29, 2026) with over 400 items; Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts ITB (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for detention facility food services specifying dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans; and the County of Santa Clara's itinerant procurement also addressing dried fruit categories. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appear standard across school nutrition solicitations. The dried orange commodity itself shows no named solicitation in the recent-opportunities block; pursuit should focus on state corrections and school nutrition programs in high-activity jurisdictions, where dried and fresh produce RFPs and IFBs appear regularly.
