UNSPSC 50344419: Frozen makokkee oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344419 Frozen makokkee oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in current state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span food service procurement across institutional settings—state hospitals, state-supported living centers, school districts, and correctional facilities—but the products being bought range widely across proteins, dairy, produce, frozen vegetables, eggs, dried fruits, nuts, ice cream, and comprehensive grocery line items. None of the recent solicitations specifically target frozen makokkee oranges or frozen citrus products. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual commodities state and local governments are procuring under the tag.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under or near this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple statewide food and consumable procurements for institutional facilities), school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas, county school boards, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Head Start programs, and Santa Clara County corrections. The recent opportunities are dominated by school nutrition procurements for child nutrition services and institutional food service contracts. Geographic activity is heaviest in Texas (HHSC statewide contracts, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Fulton County, Henry County schools), and scattered activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the Bridgeport Board of Education's electronic grocery bid for over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (closed June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods and produce totaling $969,460.94 (sealed bids due June 24, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026). The code activity suggests strong ongoing institutional food service demand but does not align with frozen citrus procurement specifically.
