UNSPSC 50335025: Dried organic melogold oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335025 Dried organic melogold oranges (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement, where state and local governments buy specific fresh and processed produce items to supply cafeteria operations, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct activity specifically tied to dried melogold oranges. School districts and state departments of education dominate solicitations under this code tier, issuing IFBs for produce contracts that bundle dozens of fresh fruit and vegetable line items alongside processed alternatives. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both posted fresh produce IFBs in June 2026 spanning 115–200+ line items that include citrus fruits, berries, root vegetables, melons, and specialty produce; the Georgia State Purchasing Division and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicit food and produce commodities for institutional dining across multiple locations. Vendors must navigate Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products, provide HACCP plans or USDA compliance certification, maintain commercial general liability insurance, and accept firm fixed pricing for the contract term plus transportation to multiple designated delivery sites.

The code sees activity concentrated in the Southeast and South, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB053266 due June 26, 2026, seeking bids for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including canned and fresh vegetables and fruits across five geographic areas, with an extended response due date of May 4, 2026. However, no recent solicitations explicitly name dried melogold oranges as a line item; the code shows limited direct procurement activity under its specific commodity definition in the recent opportunities block.
