UNSPSC 50345036: Frozen roble oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345036 Frozen roble oranges is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for frozen roble oranges specifically. Instead, state and local governments are actively sourcing frozen fruits as part of broader grocery and food service contracts—particularly frozen berries and mixed frozen produce for institutional feeding programs, school nutrition services, and correctional facilities. The code's abstract product name diverges significantly from what is actually being bought: frozen roble oranges appear in none of the recent state and local opportunities posted since late January 2026, while frozen berries, mixed vegetables, fresh produce (apples, citrus, tropical fruits), and comprehensive grocery bundles dominate the activity.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, California, New Jersey, and Mississippi. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2 for statewide facilities with historical annual spend around $1.5 million to $4.5 million). Georgia school districts and county boards of education are frequent issuing bodies, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Henry County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Decatur City Schools all seeking fresh produce and comprehensive food items for school nutrition programs under IFB and RFP notices with response dates clustered from May through July 2026. School nutrition contracts typically span 300 to 1,100+ line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies, with annual budgets ranging from $600,000 to $9,000,000. Institutional buyers including Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, $969,460.94 procurement value, due June 24, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program RFP, $600,000 estimated annual budget, due March 11, 2026), Fulton County Schools in Georgia (ice cream and frozen novelties IFBs, due March 10, 2026), and specialized programs such as the Oregon Department of Corrections (frozen berries ITB for 40,000 pounds, due April 23, 2026) round out the activity. The code itself shows little relevant recent activity and appears misclassified for most of the opportunities listed; frozen roble oranges are not surfacing in state and local procurement notices.
