UNSPSC 50344439: Frozen sunburst mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50344439 Frozen sunburst mandarin oranges is a Commodity-tier code representing a specific frozen fruit product that state and local governments buy as part of broader institutional food service procurement. The recent activity under this code shows it is tagged in large multi-item grocery solicitations—particularly school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, and state hospital systems—where frozen citrus sits alongside dozens of other produce, dairy, and prepared food line items rather than as a standalone procurement. State and local buyers use the code when sourcing bulk frozen produce for child nutrition services, student breakfast and lunch programs, institutional meal service, and food distribution networks, bundling it with hundreds of other grocery and food service line items on firm-fixed-price contracts with annual terms and renewal options.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida, complemented by state health and human services agencies operating state hospitals and supported living centers in Texas and state correctional facilities in California and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), spanning 110 line items with historical spend of $32,226.36 annually; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements, with total estimated procurement value of $969,460.94 (bids due June 24, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia school districts and Texas state health agencies, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida. Frozen sunburst mandarins appear as a minor line item—one of hundreds—in these multi-category grocery solicitations; the code itself commands no standalone market activity and serves primarily as a taxonomic classification tool within much larger institutional food service contracts.
