UNSPSC 50345020: Frozen kona oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345020 Frozen kona oranges, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no opportunities seeking frozen kona oranges specifically. Instead, the tagged solicitations reflect broad food service contracting for schools, state health facilities, correctional institutions, and child care programs across multiple states—a mix dominated by school districts soliciting comprehensive grocery and fresh produce bids covering hundreds of line items, state health and human services agencies procuring food for hospitals and supported living centers, and municipal entities buying for detention and child care operations. The actual work being bought under this code classification reflects general food-service commodity procurement, not the specialized frozen citrus product the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and California, with school district solicitations in Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, and Douglas County; state health and human services procurement in Texas (El Paso and statewide); Fulton County Schools and Early County Schools in Georgia; Bridgeport schools in Connecticut; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Head Start of Greater Dallas in Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida; the Oregon Department of Corrections; and Santa Clara County in California. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for approximately 110 line items of groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital, bids due July 27, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food and Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products under CACFP requirements, bids due June 24, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026. The code's classification appears to mislabel broad multi-commodity food procurement; vendors pursuing activity under this code should expect to bid on comprehensive food service contracts rather than frozen oranges in isolation.
