UNSPSC 50345016: Frozen hamlin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345016 Frozen hamlin oranges, a Commodity code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally describes a single frozen citrus product, yet the recent solicitations show state and local governments buying comprehensive grocery and food service procurement across dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable supplies—none centered on frozen oranges specifically. A review of representative recent opportunities reveals no procurement tagged to this code that names frozen oranges or frozen citrus as a material component of the scope. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

This mismatch—between a narrowly defined commodity code and the broad, multi-category food service solicitations actually posted—suggests either a tagging error in the upstream dataset or dormant demand for frozen hamlin oranges as a standalone line item in school districts, state agencies, county governments, and other public bodies. Sellers of frozen oranges or related citrus products are not currently pursuing procurement opportunities under this code. Business development resources tracking state and local food service spending should monitor broader Family or Class codes covering frozen produce and fruits instead.
