UNSPSC 50347005: Frozen bitter oranges

The type of fruit known as bitter oranges that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50347005 Frozen bitter oranges (Commodity) does not reflect the activity currently being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block shows no purchases of frozen bitter oranges; instead, the code has been tagged to broad grocery and food service procurement spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, beverages, and related consumable supplies for school districts, state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and child nutrition programs. This mismatch signals that the code assignment may be an artifact of how the issuing jurisdictions classify food service spend in their procurement systems rather than an indicator of actual demand for this specific commodity.

State and local bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Fulton County Schools, Henry County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Bridgeport Board of Education), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and state supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections), county systems (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department Correction Food Services), and specialized nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas HHSC and state health facilities appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (with five school district procurements posted since February 2026), Texas (state facility procurements), and scattered activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, California, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for approximately $32,226 in historical spend at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026); the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items for the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements, estimated at $969,460.94 total value (bids due June 24, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for a main-line food distributor serving 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9,000,000 (proposals due February 18, 2026).
