UNSPSC 50344430: Frozen ortanique tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50344430 Frozen ortanique tangerines, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The sourced records show no recent bids or awards for frozen ortanique tangerines specifically; instead, they document active solicitations for broad grocery and food service procurement across school districts, state health and human services agencies, county corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs. The mismatch suggests this code either sees minimal state and local adoption or is tagged inconsistently in procurement systems relative to actual category spend.

Recent opportunities under food-service-related UNSPSC categories show sustained demand from state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple statewide IFBs for supplemental food and consumables), county and city school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI, City Schools of Decatur, and Bridgeport Board of Education), county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff), and specialized child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program). The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, due July 27, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for frozen foods and produce under CACFP (approximately $969,460.94 estimated value, sealed bids due June 24, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services (estimated $9 million annually). These procurements uniformly require firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance, Buy American or domestic-preference provisions, comprehensive insurance and liability coverage, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites on schedules ranging from daily to weekly. The code 50344430 itself does not surface in this activity; business development professionals should verify the actual commodity classification before pursuing frozen citrus fruit opportunities under this specific code.
