UNSPSC 50345019: Frozen k-early oranges

The variety of oranges known as k-early oranges that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345019 Frozen k-early oranges, a Commodity code, does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source opportunities show no solicitations specifically for frozen early oranges or frozen citrus products; instead, they document comprehensive food service procurement across multiple categories—proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods—for institutions ranging from state hospitals and school districts to correctional facilities and Head Start programs.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The 21 recent opportunities in the dataset—posted between January and July 2026 and spanning Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, California, Oregon, Missouri, and Mississippi—are tagged broadly under food procurement categories (fresh produce, grocery items, frozen foods, ice cream, dried fruits, and food supply services) but do not isolate frozen k-early oranges or frozen citrus as a distinct procurement line. School districts and state health and human services agencies dominate the issuing body mix, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posting the most recent opportunities. Representative solicitations include Texas HHS's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), Bridgeport's IFB for Grocery Items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), and Henry County Schools' IFB for Food Items and Products across 52 locations (due May 5, 2026). When frozen citrus appears at all in recent bids, it is bundled within larger frozen-fruit or frozen-vegetable line items rather than specified as a commodity requiring separate vendor relationships. Vendors pursuing this code should verify that actual procurement intent aligns with frozen-citrus sourcing before investing in pursuit; the current taxonomy signal does not support a concentrated market opportunity.
