UNSPSC 50345026: Frozen moro oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345026 Frozen moro oranges is a Commodity code describing a single product line—individually quick-frozen citrus fruit—that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply chains for institutional foodservice operations, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within purchasing patterns for frozen fruit and produce across state hospitals, school districts, and detention facilities, though frozen moro oranges are rarely solicited as a standalone line item. Instead, they appear bundled with dozens or hundreds of other frozen and fresh produce items under consolidated grocery, produce, and food-supply contracts that span proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and prepared foods.

Issuing bodies include Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services), Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), other state school districts (Missouri's Rockwood R-VI, Connecticut's City of Bridgeport), federal Head Start programs, county detention facilities (Santa Clara County), correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and transit-adjacent institutions. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Florida with secondary presence in Missouri, Connecticut, California, Oregon, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026), both spanning 200+ line items with estimated annual spends in the $1.5 million to $32 million range; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning 200+ fresh-produce items including citrus; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, nutritional standards, firm fixed pricing, and weekly or multi-delivery-per-week schedules to institutional delivery points.
