UNSPSC 50345001: Frozen african sour oranges

The variety of oranges known as african sour oranges that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345001 Frozen African Sour Oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized frozen citrus and tropical fruits for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically matching this narrow product line. Instead, the code appears to sit within a broader landscape of frozen fruit procurement where state and local bodies source frozen berries, mixed fruits, and produce for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care operations. When frozen citrus appears in recent solicitations, it surfaces as a line item within comprehensive frozen produce or grocery buys rather than as a standalone procurement category.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing frozen fruit procurement span school districts (Fulton County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction), Head Start and child nutrition agencies, and municipal education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016590 (April 9–23, 2026) for 40,000 pounds of unsalted individually quick frozen berries at $0.89 per pound historical pricing; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (June 11–July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including frozen foods for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-year spend of $1.5 million; and the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (January 28–February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts to Elmwood Correctional Facility with annual volume of 5,880 cases of dried raisins and 3,000 cases of tropical fruit mix. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC state facility procurements), Georgia (school districts and county boards of education), and California (county corrections), with additional scattered activity in Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida. The code shows no distinct recent procurement activity narrowly targeting frozen African sour oranges as a specified line item; vendors pursuing this code should monitor broader frozen fruit and grocery solicitations where such specialty citrus might appear as a component within larger food service contracts.
