UNSPSC 50345038: Frozen sanguine oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345038 Frozen sanguine oranges is a Commodity code with little active state and local procurement. The opportunities in the recent block reflect a mismatch: they are tagged under this code but actually solicit general groceries, produce, food service supplies, and frozen foods across multiple categories—not specifically frozen oranges or citrus products. The one tangential reference appears in Hancock County Schools' fresh produce solicitation, which lists multiple apple and citrus varieties but does not isolate frozen oranges as a line item. State and local buyers posting under 50345038 are primarily school districts (Fulton County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, County of Santa Clara). The mix spans child nutrition programs, institutional feeding, and state facility food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut, with scattered activity in Oregon, New Jersey, Missouri, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting school lunch programs (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under CACFP requirements (due June 24, 2026), Hancock County Schools' IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts at a correctional facility (due February 5, 2026). None of these solicitations isolate frozen sanguine oranges; the code appears to be a categorical mistagging by issuing bodies entering broader grocery and produce procurements. Vendors pursuing this code should verify with issuing offices whether they specifically require frozen citrus products before investing in bid preparation.
