UNSPSC 50335041: Dried organic shamouti jaffa oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335041 Dried organic shamouti jaffa oranges is a Commodity code that exhibits minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to the code's nominal scope. The source documents identify no active school district, county, or municipal solicitations specifically requesting dried shamouti jaffa oranges or other dried citrus fruits by name or specification. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, bulk food supply for correctional facilities, and general grocery commodities for school districts and county departments — none of which center on dried specialty citrus products. School nutrition solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) all emphasize fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and processed grocery staples rather than dried or specialty produce. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement for cafeteria food products and the Santa Clara County correctional facility procurement for dried fruits and nuts both include raisins, cranberries, and mixed dried tropical fruits but do not specify dried shamouti jaffa oranges. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under or near this code are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs) and state criminal justice departments, with scattered municipal involvement through city education departments.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Texas (state-level TDCJ procurement), California (Santa Clara County), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The code shows no discernible concentration of recent solicitations and no clear market signal for dried shamouti jaffa oranges specifically. Recent food procurement opportunities emphasize fresh produce (apples, oranges, citrus varieties sold fresh), bulk staple foods, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees — categories that dominate school and correctional nutrition budgets. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the breadth of general food procurement tagged under or near this code suggests either broad mis-tagging by issuing bodies or infrequent procurement of this specialty dried product at the state and local level.
