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

UNSPSC 50335024 Dried organic marr oranges is a Commodity code covering preserved citrus products procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that school districts and state correctional systems purchase dried fruits—including dried prunes, dried citrus, and related preserved produce—as components of broader food-supply contracts for cafeteria operations. The work encompasses sourcing USDA-graded dried produce meeting specific packaging, quality, and food-safety standards, with vendors required to provide grade certificates, HACCP plans where applicable, nutritional data, and compliance documentation. Issuing bodies include county and municipal school boards, state departments of criminal justice, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of corrections and education agencies. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and payment terms typically running 30 to 45 days net.
