UNSPSC 50345006: Frozen berna oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345006 Frozen berna oranges, a Commodity code, shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single frozen citrus product, yet recent solicitations tagged under broader grocery and produce categories—such as those from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts, and correctional facilities—span hundreds of food line items encompassing frozen vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, and consumables, not frozen berna oranges specifically. State and local governments procure under this code tier through health and human services agencies, county and municipal school boards, and correctional departments seeking comprehensive food service supplies for institutional feeding operations, but the recent opportunities reveal no vendor solicitations explicitly targeting frozen berna oranges as a named commodity.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas (HHSC facilities statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Georgia (multiple school districts including Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton County, and Decatur), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), New Jersey (Department of Human Services frozen vegetables rebid), and California (Santa Clara County Correctional Facility). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items for the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), and the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products totaling approximately $969,460.94 in estimated procurement value (due June 24, 2026). The code itself does not align with the granular commodity specificity these solicitations demand; institutional food procurement operates at the family and class tier rather than at individual frozen-citrus-product commodity level.
