UNSPSC 50344426: Frozen natsudaidai mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344426 Frozen natsudaidai mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted against this code show no instances of frozen mandarin oranges or citrus procurement; instead, the opportunities span broad food service categories including general grocery procurement for state institutions, school districts, and public agencies. The code sits in a narrow specialty category, but state and local buyers are tagging comprehensive food service solicitations to it, creating a material disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the activity the code tracks.

Issuing bodies in the recent record span Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospital and supported living center procurement), Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Fulton County, Douglas County), Connecticut municipalities (City of Bridgeport), Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), California counties (Santa Clara), Georgia counties (Douglas County), and federal-grant-funded nonprofits (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The dominant pattern is school nutrition procurement across multiple states and state institutional food service procurement in Texas. No single issuing body appears more than twice in the recent record. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's FY27 Groceries bid (IFB HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026) for Big Spring State Hospital, spanning approximately 110 food line items with prior-year spend of $32,226.36; and the City of Bridgeport's Grocery Items bid (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) for school food service covering over 1,100 line items and requiring Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic content. Geographic spread concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Fulton County, Douglas County), Texas (HHSC procurement statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), California (Santa Clara County), and Florida (Hillsborough County). The code shows little relevant activity in frozen citrus procurement and should be monitored for accurate tagging rather than pursued as a citrus-specific opportunity.
