UNSPSC 50345005: Frozen bergamot oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345005 Frozen bergamot oranges, Commodity, appears rarely in state and local procurement activity; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for frozen bergamot oranges or bergamot products. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty citrus commodity—does not align with the actual buying patterns reflected in current state and local contracts, which center on broad grocery procurement, produce supply, and food service distribution for schools, correctional facilities, and institutional food programs.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county correctional facilities across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, California, and Oregon, but none explicitly request bergamot oranges in any form. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products, fresh and frozen produce, and comprehensive grocery items for state hospitals and supported living centers; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, citrus, and specialty items; and the County of Santa Clara, California, solicited dried fruits and nuts for correctional food services. These procurements reflect demand for broad commodity categories—fresh citrus, frozen specialty fruits, and produce mixes—rather than a single bergamot variety. Given the narrow commodity specificity of the code and the absence of matching solicitation activity, this code signals limited near-term pursuit opportunity unless your firm has existing relationships with institutional food distributors or school nutrition programs seeking specialty citrus items.
