UNSPSC 50344432: Frozen pixie oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344432 Frozen pixie oranges, a Commodity code, captures state and local purchases of specialty frozen citrus products for institutional food service, although recent procurement activity under this code is minimal and largely limited to broader frozen fruit categories that subsume individual species-level specifications. The limited recent opportunities show no direct solicitations tagged specifically to frozen pixie oranges; instead, state and local food service buyers issue solicitations for frozen fruits, frozen berries, or comprehensive grocery line items that may include frozen citrus as a subset option rather than as the primary procurement driver.

The issuing bodies active in frozen fruit and specialty produce procurement span a diverse mix of state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and New Jersey state departments), county school districts (Fulton, Douglas, Early, Hancock, Bulloch, Henry County boards of education), municipal school systems (Savannah-Chatham, City Schools of Decatur, Bridgeport, Rockwood R-VI), and specialized providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (bid due February 23, 2026), which listed frozen specialty foods among 210 line items; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries (bid due April 23, 2026, estimated 40,000 pounds); Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products including frozen foods for child care programs (bid due June 24, 2026, estimated $969,460.94 procurement value); and multiple school district RFPs and IFBs across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas seeking frozen grocery items as part of broader school nutrition program procurements. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC and Head Start solicitations), Georgia (school districts and cooperative purchasing), and scattered activity in Oregon, California, Missouri, Connecticut, and New Jersey. The code itself shows little dedicated procurement activity; frozen pixie oranges—if procured at all—appear as a line item within larger frozen fruit or frozen grocery solicitations rather than as standalone category-level purchases, limiting this code's relevance for vendors specializing exclusively in species-specific frozen citrus.
