UNSPSC 50345033: Frozen pera oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345033 Frozen pera oranges is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source materials. The code nominally describes a specific frozen citrus product, yet the recent opportunities posted under or near this classification span broad grocery procurement across dozens of line items—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and food service supplies—rather than single-product categories. State and local food service procurement, particularly for schools and institutional facilities, is organized by product family or comprehensive food service contracts, not by individual fruit varieties.

The issuing bodies soliciting grocery and produce under related codes include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), school districts and boards of education (Hancock County, Fulton County, Douglas County, Henry County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Early County, and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), municipal entities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), county corrections (Santa Clara County), state departments of corrections (Oregon), and nonprofits operating child care and Head Start programs. Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, California, and Oregon, with heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, with prior-year spend of $32,226.36), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce meeting CACFP requirements (bids due June 24, 2026, with estimated value of $969,460.94), the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students (proposals due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items (bids due June 26, 2026). The code shows no recent activity specifically targeting frozen pera oranges as a standalone procurement; the activity is broad institutional food service purchasing in which frozen citrus may appear as one line item among hundreds.
