UNSPSC 50345035: Frozen rhode red oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345035 Frozen Rhode Red Oranges is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—frozen oranges of a specific variety—does not match the work actually being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad grocery and food service procurement across multiple product categories, including proteins, dairy, produce, frozen foods, and consumable supplies for schools, correctional facilities, and state-operated institutions. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, county and municipal school districts, county correctional facilities, and regional buying cooperatives. None of the recent solicitations target frozen Rhode Red oranges specifically; they solicit comprehensive food service contracts where frozen citrus, if present at all, represents a minor line item among hundreds of products.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (multiple HHSC state hospital and state supported living center contracts), Georgia (school districts including Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Douglas County, and Fulton County), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), California (County of Santa Clara corrections), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and New Jersey (Department of Human Services). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026), the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (response due June 30, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas's June 2026 IFB for frozen foods, produce, and meat products totaling an estimated $969,460.94 (response due June 24, 2026). The code shows no concentration in any single jurisdiction or buying pattern specific to frozen citrus procurement, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscategorization in the source data or minimal genuine market demand for this specific commodity.
