UNSPSC 50344442: Frozen temple oranges

A cross between a mandarin and a sweet orange that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344442 Frozen temple oranges, a Commodity code, describes a narrow product category that sees minimal reflected demand in current state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for frozen temple oranges; instead, the code tags a diverse set of food service contracts spanning school nutrition programs, institutional meal service at state hospitals and correctional facilities, and child care food programs across multiple states. The work actually being solicited under this code frame includes comprehensive grocery procurement (fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, beverages), fresh produce supply for school nutrition and Head Start programs, specialty frozen items (berries, ice cream, novelties), and dried fruits and nuts for correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Henry County, Fulton County, and Douglas County schools), followed by state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), city and county governments (City of Bridgeport, County of Santa Clara), and Head Start programs. Texas HHSC appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple active solicitations for state-facility food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock, Early, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch, Henry, and Fulton County schools; Douglas County system), with secondary concentration in Texas (HHSC facilities statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas) and representation from Connecticut (Bridgeport), Oregon, New Jersey, California, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), seeking 110+ line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226; the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 bid for 1,100+ grocery line items supporting school food service under the National School Lunch Program, requiring 51% domestic agricultural content and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance; Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products (sealed bids due June 24, 2026) at an estimated total value of $969,460.94; and the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for 200+ line items across apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). The code itself does not reflect concentrated demand—it represents a mismatch between the nominal Commodity specification and the actual procurement activity tagged under it, which is general institutional and school food service supply rather than frozen temple oranges specifically.
