UNSPSC 50335038: Dried organic sanguine oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335038 Dried organic sanguine oranges is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities recorded under it do not reflect procurement of dried oranges or dried citrus products. Instead, the code appears to be capturing school nutrition and correctional food service solicitations focused on fresh produce, fresh citrus varieties, and broader commodities including proteins, dairy, and staple pantry items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are tagged or that this code is serving as a catchall for produce-category purchases that should map to broader fresh or frozen fruit and vegetable families.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level agencies (State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with recent IFBs posted between May and June 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce for the 2026–27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, melons, and citrus with delivery to three school sites), the City of Bridgeport Commodities bid for the Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 26, 2026, 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce to a single nutrition center), and a Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement via IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and produce for five geographic warehouse areas). All recent school nutrition solicitations enforce the Buy American provision requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products. The code shows activity but limited relevance to dried oranges specifically; prospective vendors should verify proper code alignment before pursuing.
