UNSPSC 50335040: Dried organic seville oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335040 Dried organic Seville oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses dried citrus fruits and specialty produce ingredients procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy dried fruit products under this code primarily as components of school meal programs, inmate nutrition services, and cafeteria food supply contracts where these items serve as shelf-stable additions to fresh produce offerings or standalone nutritional elements. Recent solicitations show that when dried fruits are specified, they typically appear as line items within broader grocery or produce procurement vehicles rather than standalone contracts, with the exception of specialized institutional buyers like county corrections departments that issue focused requests for dried fruit assortments.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia. The County of Santa Clara, California, represents the strongest recent signal for dried-fruit-specific procurement—issuing an ITB in January 2026 for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend, walnuts, and pecans to support the Office of the Sheriff Department of Correction Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, with estimated annual volumes of 5,880 cases of raisins, 1,000 cases each of cranberries and tropical fruit mix, and 1,000 boxes each of walnuts and pecans. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in California, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut. Most school-based opportunities treat dried fruits as ancillary items within broader food supply contracts due by April through June 2026, with the Santa Clara corrections procurement representing the clearest line-item focus on dried fruits and nuts, due February 5, 2026.
