UNSPSC 50335035: Dried organic rhode red oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335035 Dried organic Rhode red oranges is a Commodity code, though the recent state and local opportunities posted under it reflect broader fresh-produce and food-supply procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities rather than dried citrus specifically. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including fresh citrus, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with responses due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations, with approximately 382 line items encompassing proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, fruits, and staple items and responses due May 4, 2026. School districts and correctional agencies dominate issuing activity under this code; state purchasing offices coordinate statewide food procurement for multiple end-using agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The code shows limited specialized activity in dried citrus — a separate Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (Bid IW236532) requested whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026, suggesting that dried-fruit specifications do appear in state correctional food contracts but remain niche within the broader fresh-produce and commodities sourcing. All recent solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, USDA compliance, HACCP planning, E-Verify authorization, and commercial general liability insurance. School nutrition and institutional food service represent the primary demand drivers under this code, with contract periods typically running through June 2027 and award made to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or, in some cases, to multiple vendors.
