UNSPSC 50344435: Frozen robinson oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344435 Frozen robinson oranges is a Commodity code. State and local procurement offices do not buy frozen robinson oranges; the code as named does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under recent opportunities. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under or near this code taxonomy span frozen and fresh produce, grocery items, and food service supplies for institutional feeding programs—school nutrition services, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and Head Start child care programs. Vendors winning these procurements supply comprehensive food catalogs spanning proteins, dairy, grains, produce, frozen items, prepared foods, condiments, and food service packaging and consumables. The mismatch between the code's literal name and the actual buying activity suggests that state procurement systems may be applying this or nearby commodity codes as catch-all tags for fresh and frozen produce and grocery items more broadly, or that the code's taxonomy has shifted over time without renumbering.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Henry County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Early County Board of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and state-supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections), transit and regional food-service entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas), counties (Santa Clara County, Hancock County in Georgia), and cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia school districts appear most frequently as repeat buyers. Recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026, approximately $32,226 prior-year baseline), the City of Bridgeport's electronic grocery bid for school food service spanning over 1,100 line items (due June 30, 2026, with Buy American and Healthy Kids Act requirements), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB for frozen foods and produce for child care (estimated $969,460.94 total value, bids due June 24, 2026), and the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior-year value $1.5 million, bids due July 13, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with significant activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, followed by state health and corrections agencies.
