UNSPSC 50345030: Frozen oro blanco oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345030 Frozen oro blanco oranges is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen citrus products for institutional food service. State and local governments buy frozen citrus under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, state healthcare facilities (hospitals and supported living centers), and specialized food distribution operations. The recent opportunities block shows minimal activity tagged directly to this narrow commodity code; instead, the available solicitations show state and local buyers procuring frozen fruit as part of comprehensive grocery and food-service product bundles. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple solicitations for supplemental food and consumable products (IFB HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital and IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, both due in July 2026) that span frozen items across broader categories. School districts in Georgia—including Hancock County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton County, Henry County, and Bulloch County—have issued invitation-for-bid notices for school nutrition programs that include frozen fruits and vegetables as line items within larger food procurement scopes. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited frozen fruit berries (ITB S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026) as a discrete line item, and the County of Santa Clara sourced dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for correctional food services.

Activity is concentrated in institutional and correctional food service, with the heaviest recent volume in Texas state healthcare facilities and Georgia school districts. Texas HHSC and Georgia school boards dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting the scale of meals served in those systems. A representative recent opportunity is Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), which solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including specialty citrus varieties for the 2026–27 school year; another is the Texas HHSC supplemental food procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026), which included frozen products as a component of a $1.5 million annual spend across multiple NIGP commodity classes. The code itself sees limited standalone procurement activity—frozen oro blanco oranges in particular are rarely solicited as a sole line item. Bidders should expect frozen citrus to be bundled with broader produce and frozen-food categories rather than purchased in isolation, and should monitor school nutrition and state healthcare facility food service notices in Texas and Georgia, where institutional volume and contract frequency are highest.
