UNSPSC 50345013: Frozen chinotto oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345013 Frozen chinotto oranges is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single specialty citrus product, but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC tag do not reflect frozen chinotto oranges procurement — instead, they span broad food service supply categories (grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, ice cream, and dried fruits and nuts) for institutional and school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the narrow code definition and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local issuing bodies are either misclassifying opportunities or using this code as a catch-all placeholder within food service procurement, creating little decision-relevant signal for vendors seeking to pursue frozen chinotto oranges specifically.

State and local solicitations tagged with this code originate from school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; and Hillsborough County in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for Big Spring State Hospital and El Paso State Supported Living Center), specialized service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County). Geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia school districts, with additional activity in Texas, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for school lunch groceries spanning over 1,100 line items (due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products for child care programs totaling an estimated $969,460.94 (due June 24, 2026). None of these opportunities name frozen chinotto oranges as a line item or scope element.
