UNSPSC 50344412: Frozen honey mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344412 Frozen honey mandarin oranges, a Commodity code, sees limited direct activity in state and local procurement, with recent solicitations showing no specific bids for frozen mandarin oranges or other frozen citrus fruits. The code sits within a broader landscape of frozen fruit procurement where state and local agencies regularly source frozen berries, mixed frozen vegetables, and specialty frozen produce items for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. While the abstract code name points to a narrow product line, actual state and local demand under this commodity spans frozen produce categories more broadly—particularly frozen vegetables and berries used in child nutrition services, state hospital and supported living center kitchens, and institutional correctional food service operations.

Recent state and local procurement activity under related frozen produce codes shows heavy concentration among school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county boards of education across the Southeast and South. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017660 on July 13, 2026, for groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which spans frozen foods as one category among 110+ line items with prior-year spend of $32,226.36; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016590 on April 9, 2026, for frozen fruit berries—approximately 40,000 pounds of unsweetened, individually quick frozen berries in mixed varieties (bids due April 23, 2026) at a historical pricing benchmark of $0.89 per pound; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issuing IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning multiple varieties with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County Schools in Georgia; Fulton County in Georgia; Bridgeport in Connecticut), state departments (Texas HHS, Oregon DOC, New Jersey DHS), and county or regional food authorities. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Texas, and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Connecticut, New Jersey, Missouri, California, and Oregon. No recent opportunities specifically named frozen honey mandarin oranges as a line item; vendors should monitor broader frozen fruit and produce categories under related UNSPSC codes for actionable opportunities in this narrow commodity.
