UNSPSC 50335042: Dried organic tunis oranges

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

UNSPSC 50335042 Dried organic tunis oranges is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses a narrow band of dried fruit procurement, though the code's nominal scope does not align cleanly with the opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show school districts and state departments buying fresh produce, frozen cafeteria proteins, dairy products, and other prepared foods rather than dried organic citrus. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce across over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school sites and a contract term running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a June 2026 IFB for commodities to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, covering 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under the Buy American Provision. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB in May 2026 (extended to June 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits for delivery to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations across Texas. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532) in February 2026 did call specifically for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes per delivery area.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state criminal justice agencies. Georgia appears as both a state-level buyer (through the Department of Criminal Justice) and county-level buyer (Hancock County Board of Education); Texas and Connecticut also show recent activity. The code shows limited recent volume — the five opportunities posted span May through June 2026, with only the TDCJ prunes solicitation (February 2026) representing a dried fruit procurement directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. School nutrition programs dominate the visible activity, driven by Buy American compliance requirements mandating minimum domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Firms pursuing this code should note that actual state and local procurement under UNSPSC 50335042 appears to reflect a broader fresh and prepared food category than the code name suggests, with dried organic citrus representing a narrow subset within larger institutional food supply contracts; the February 2026 TDCJ prunes bid is the sole recent opportunity directly matching the dried fruit focus.
