UNSPSC 50344445: Frozen wilkins tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50344445 Frozen wilkins tangerines, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific frozen citrus variety—diverges sharply from the actual food procurement taking place under related UNSPSC codes across the market. Recent state and local solicitations instead center on comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts that bundle multiple frozen and refrigerated items, institutional food service for hospitals and school nutrition programs, and bulk commodity purchasing where individual frozen fruit lines are one component among dozens of line items. No issued body has solicited frozen tangerines specifically in the opportunities posted between late January and mid-July 2026.

Food procurement activity at the commodity level clusters heavily around school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fulton County Schools, and Douglas County School System in Georgia, Missouri, and other states), state institutional food service (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections), and federal child care grant programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Issuing bodies span school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county correctional facilities. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, California, New Jersey, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026, with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for grocery items supporting school lunch programs (due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh produce line items). None of these solicitations call for frozen tangerines as a standalone item or commodity code.
