UNSPSC 50345023: Frozen limequat oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345023 Frozen limequat oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad-based food service provisioning for institutional and school settings — frozen fruits, fresh produce, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, and consumables — rather than frozen citrus fruits specifically. State and local buyers are acquiring these items primarily through school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, correctional facilities, and Head Start programs. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (response deadline July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's food and nutrition services (response deadline June 30, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas's June 2026 IFB for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products to support child care programs (response deadline June 24, 2026).

The issuing body mix reflects heavy participation from school systems — including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) — alongside Texas state agencies (HHSC), county corrections (Santa Clara County, Oregon Department of Corrections), Head Start programs, and municipal purchasing offices. Geographic concentration is strong in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, California, Oregon, and other states. Pricing models typically require firm, fixed unit rates with all-inclusive delivery; most contracts run July 2026 through June 2027 for school year procurement, with optional renewals up to five years. Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), and USDA compliance are standard requirements across solicitations. The volume and frequency of recent activity across school districts, state health agencies, and correctional institutions suggest consistent and substantial demand, though the code name itself is a poor descriptor of what is actually being purchased.
