UNSPSC 50345004: Frozen bahianinha oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345004 Frozen bahianinha oranges, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this classification. The single recent opportunity tagged with this code—Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026—solicits a broad range of food service supplies including proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages, with no mention of frozen bahianinha oranges or specialized citrus products. The code's narrow, product-specific scope appears to reflect historical purchasing practice rather than current demand.

State and local procurement under food-service codes in general shows sustained activity across institutional feeding—state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and county corrections—with issuing bodies concentrated in Texas (HHSC), Georgia (multiple school districts and county boards), Missouri, Connecticut, California, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services over 900 line items, bids due April 29, 2026) and state institutional feeding (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables IFB, bids due July 13, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections frozen berries ITB, bids due April 23, 2026). The overwhelming majority of these opportunities target fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable staple commodities—produce, proteins, dairy, grains—with quantities ranging from dozens to tens of thousands of cases annually. Frozen bahianinha oranges—a highly specialized imported citrus product—does not surface in any of the recorded recent solicitations, suggesting minimal or no current state and local demand under this code. Business development professionals should monitor broader fruit and frozen-food commodity codes rather than pursue this narrow classification.
