UNSPSC 50345040: Frozen seville oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345040 Frozen Seville oranges, a Commodity code, names a single frozen citrus product, but state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and does not align with what is actually being bought. Recent solicitations tagged with this code predominantly solicit comprehensive grocery procurement — entire food service supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, beverages, and supplies — rather than a single frozen orange product. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and the actual solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing agencies or that frozen Seville oranges are one component line item within broader food procurement, making this code unreliable as a signal for vendors pursuing single-commodity frozen fruit supply. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), multiple Georgia school districts, school nutrition authorities in Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida, and county corrections departments. The issuing bodies are predominantly school food authorities and state institutional food service operations, with occasional county sheriff departments and health and human services agencies. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, California, and Oregon.

Representative opportunities show the pattern clearly: the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (due July 27, 2026) for Big Spring State Hospital requests bids on approximately 110 grocery line items spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with prior-year spend of $32,226.36, not specialized frozen citrus procurement; Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BID BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) solicits over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, produce, dairy, meats, and condiments for school lunch programs under the National School Lunch Program with Buy American requirements; Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) seeks primary, secondary, and tertiary food suppliers for approximately 32,409 cases across frozen foods, produce, and meats for child care under CACFP; and Hancock County Schools' IFB (due June 26, 2026) requests bids on over 200 fresh produce line items including apples, berries, vegetables, citrus fruits, and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year. No recent solicitations target frozen Seville oranges specifically.
