UNSPSC 50344437: Frozen sampson tangelo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344437 Frozen sampson tangelo oranges (Commodity) represents a narrow produce specialty code that state and local governments rarely buy in isolation. Recent state and local solicitation activity shows the code does not reflect actual procurement patterns; school districts, county nutrition programs, and institutional food service agencies solicit frozen fruit and produce through broad grocery, food service, or commodity-level RFPs and IFBs that bundle citrus and other frozen items into large, mixed-product packages rather than as single SKUs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for Big Spring State Hospital groceries (HHS0017660, due July 27) and the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery IFB (BID052266, due June 30) both encompass frozen and fresh produce as line items within comprehensive food-service solicitations spanning proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages—typical of the market's actual buying behavior.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (HHSC state hospitals and supported living centers) and school districts across Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri that use cooperative purchasing vehicles and broad food-service RFPs. The Douglas County School System's February 2026 Food Supply and Distribution RFP (DCSDSN26-003, due February 18) and the Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 grocery-items bid (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29) exemplify the consolidated purchasing pattern; neither solicitation isolates frozen citrus but instead requests hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, and prepared foods bundled into single contracts. The code shows little decision relevance as a standalone procurement category. Vendors should monitor broad food-service and grocery commodity RFPs issued by state institutional facilities, school districts, and nutrition authorities rather than expect single-commodity tenders for frozen sampson tangelo oranges.
