UNSPSC 50335034: Dried organic pummulo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335034 Dried organic pummulo oranges is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, encompasses dried citrus fruits and related processed produce items procured primarily by school districts and correctional facilities for institutional food service. The code shows minimal direct solicitation activity specifically for dried pummulo oranges; instead, state and local buyers tag broader fresh and processed produce categories under this code when sourcing institutional meal components. School districts and state correctional agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs soliciting fresh produce bundles that span multiple citrus and fruit varieties alongside processed commodity items, and correctional facilities sourcing specific dried fruits as part of cafeteria food product packages. The scope of work encompasses procurement of produce meeting USDA grade standards, compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content percentages for processed items, HACCP plan requirements, and delivery to multiple institutional locations with firm pricing for annual contract terms.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the South and Southwest, with school districts in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, posting June 10, 2026, IFB due June 26, 2026) and state procurement offices in Georgia and Texas issuing the most visible solicitations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products with a May 4, 2026 response date covering approximately 382 line items including dried fruits, and a separate TDCJ prune procurement (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) targeting 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B dried prunes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a commodities IFB on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items supplying school nutrition; the State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope details in an attached document. Buy American provisions and MBE/CBE certifications appear consistently across these opportunities.
