UNSPSC 50354400: Frozen organic mandarin oranges or tangerines

The type of organic fruit known as organic mandarin oranges or tangerines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354400 Frozen organic mandarin oranges or tangerines is a Class code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities on file show no solicitations for frozen organic citrus; instead, they span comprehensive school nutrition programs—fresh produce, frozen and grocery items, eggs, milk, meats, and full-service food distribution—across multiple school districts and one city education department. The code's narrow commodity scope (a single frozen fruit product) conflicts with the broad, multi-category food service operations state and local jurisdictions are actually buying. The source provides no evidence that frozen organic mandarin oranges or tangerines are being procured by state or local bodies under this code at present.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies across the opportunities block, including the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District. The State of Georgia and City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases also appear, but all procurement is ultimately food service for school nutrition programs. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County) and Missouri (Rockwood), with Connecticut (Bridgeport) and statewide Georgia procurement also represented. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education seeking over 1,100 grocery line items through IFB BNB052266 with bids due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two and proposals due March 4, 2026. None of these opportunities align with procurement of frozen organic mandarin oranges or tangerines as a discrete product.
