UNSPSC 50344401: Frozen clauselinas oranges

The variety of mandarin oranges and tangerines known as clauselinas oranges that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344401 Frozen clauselinas oranges (Commodity) does not reflect the food procurement activity state and local governments actually conduct. The recent opportunities block records no solicitations for frozen clauselina oranges—or frozen citrus fruit of any named variety. Instead, the code has been applied to general grocery and food service procurement by state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities, spanning frozen vegetables, ice cream, dried fruit, fresh produce, dairy, and proteins bundled into broad food supply contracts.

State and local bodies issuing under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (purchasing for state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida (supporting child nutrition programs), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County), and Head Start organizations. The Texas HHS Commission appears repeatedly, with multiple solicitations for supplemental food and consumables to serve institutional populations. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0017660 (due July 27, 2026) for approximately 110 line items of groceries for Big Spring State Hospital with historical spend of $32,226.36, the City of Bridgeport IFB seeking over 1,100 line items of groceries for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB seeking fresh produce with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). The code sees concentrated activity in Georgia school districts, Texas state health agencies, and other institutional food service environments. The scope spans mixed frozen products, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies—not a single commodity—suggesting either a data-entry error at the source or systematic misapplication of the code to catch-all institutional food contracts. Vendors pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity tier or Family-level code before investing in bids, as the Commodity designation appears misaligned with current procurement practice.
