UNSPSC 50345042: Frozen tunis oranges

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

UNSPSC 50345042 Frozen tunis oranges, a Commodity code, is not reflected in recent state and local procurement activity; the code's narrow product specification does not align with the actual buying patterns documented in the most recent opportunities. State and local governments procure frozen fruit under this code, but recent solicitations show no demand specifically for frozen Tunis oranges—a specialized citrus variety. Instead, schools, state agencies, and counties are actively bidding dried fruits (including raisins and tropical blends), fresh produce of all types, and broad frozen fruit categories (berries, mixed fruit) that span multiple UNSPSC codes. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts, California counties, and Missouri and Florida school systems dominate recent activity, but none of the posted opportunities name Tunis oranges or equivalent frozen citrus products.

The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes. Recent opportunities under frozen-fruit procurement span broader commodity codes covering school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and CACFP), state institutional food service (state hospitals and supported living centers), and correctional facilities. Representative activity includes Texas HHS procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide (IFB HHS0016792, bid deadline extended to February 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections sourcing frozen berries (ITB S2910000016590, bids due April 23, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara seeking dried fruits and nuts for detention food service (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, bids due February 5, 2026). Schools soliciting frozen products focus on mixed vegetables, prepared entrees, and commodity program items rather than specialized frozen citrus. Unless your firm has an established supply relationship with a state or local institutional food buyer who has specified Tunis oranges by name, this code presents minimal near-term pursuit opportunity.
