UNSPSC 50337005: Dried organic bitter oranges

The type of organic fruit known as organic bitter oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50337005 Dried organic bitter oranges is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried citrus fruit products, but the most-recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried bitter oranges or comparable dried citrus items. Recent state and local procurement under related dried-fruit and produce codes instead focuses on mainstream school nutrition and correctional-facility food service — fresh produce, eggs, grains, proteins, and dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, and tree nuts — but not specifically dried bitter oranges. A single ITB from Santa Clara County (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) solicited dried fruits including raisins and cranberries for the County Correctional Facility, and a Georgia RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covered fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts, but neither named dried bitter oranges as a line item. School districts, county boards of education, and state corrections agencies across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, California, and Connecticut are the primary solicitors of dried and fresh produce, but the available record shows no demand for this specific commodity.

The absence of recent activity under this code suggests that dried organic bitter oranges represent a niche or specialized product outside the scope of typical state and local food-service procurement, which prioritizes commodity staples, fresh produce for student meals, and proteins for institutional nutrition programs. Vendors pursuing dried citrus products should monitor codes covering broader dried-fruit categories (such as 50337000 Dried fruits) and school nutrition solicitations in the Southeast, where recent activity concentrates, but should not expect direct demand under this specific commodity code in the current market window.
