UNSPSC 50354404: Frozen organic dancy tangerines

The variety of organic mandarin oranges and tangerines known as organic dancy tangerines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354404 Frozen organic dancy tangerines (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged with this code describe comprehensive grocery and produce procurement for school nutrition programs—spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and supplies—rather than a single frozen fruit commodity. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 RFQ for grocery items encompasses over 1,100 line items across breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, and condiments; Hancock County Schools' concurrent fresh-produce IFB specifies 200+ items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus; and the City Schools of Decatur's May 2026 IFB covers frozen foods and grocery items meeting whole-grain and low-sodium standards. School districts and board of education offices dominate the issuing-body mix, including Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hancock County and Early County (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County Schools (Georgia). State-level procurement also appears, with the State of Georgia posting a May 2026 food-supplies solicitation through its e-procurement system.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary postings in Connecticut and Missouri. The Hancock County Schools IFB (due June 26, 2026) and the Savannah-Chatham County Schools bid (due April 23, 2026) exemplify the geographic pattern and scope of work. The Douglas County Schools system issued two concurrent RFPs in early 2026 for fresh produce and eggs (estimated $4.4 million–$1.1 million annually across two areas) and food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annually for 32,500 students). All solicitations require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000–$2 million per occurrence), and firm pricing with no fuel surcharges. Vendors are evaluated on lowest responsive bid, product quality, and compliance with nutrition standards including whole grains, low sodium, and nutritional labeling. The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly targeting frozen dancy tangerines or similar single-commodity fruit products.
