UNSPSC 50344410: Frozen fremont oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344410 Frozen fremont oranges is a Commodity code encompassing individually quick-frozen citrus products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code is sparse. The single recent opportunity sourced—Oregon Department of Corrections' April 2026 ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries—does not align with the nominal frozen-oranges scope; it instead solicited unsweetened, Grade A or B individually quick frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries) packaged in cases of 10–60 pounds, with a 40,000-pound estimated volume and delivery to Salem, Oregon. This mismatch signals that the code sees little relevant recent activity and that state and local procurement offices may be tagging frozen-citrus and frozen-berry categories inconsistently or under broader produce or fruit commodity codes.

The broader purchasing context visible in the source shows that state and local governments—Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Georgia and Missouri school districts, California counties, Oregon corrections, and New Jersey Department of Human Services—actively solicit frozen foods, fresh produce, and consumable food supplies under other UNSPSC categories, primarily for school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities. If pursuing the frozen-oranges code, vendors should expect irregular and low-volume activity, verify code assignment during pre-bid communication, and consider whether buyers are consolidating frozen-fruit sourcing under parent-level codes (such as broad frozen-produce families) rather than single-commodity designations. The absence of recent frozen-orange–specific solicitations suggests this is a low-priority category for state and local food procurement right now.
