UNSPSC 50354405: Frozen organic ellensdale oranges

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

UNSPSC 50354405 Frozen organic ellensdale oranges, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific frozen citrus product, but the most recent solicitations posted under this code — from Gwinnett County, the City of Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools, the State of Georgia, and Early County Schools between May and October 2026 — span broad food procurement including shelf-stable pantry items, fresh produce, dairy, meats, poultry, seafood, baked goods, breakfast cereals, condiments, seasonings, and non-food supplies for school nutrition programs and senior services. None of the opportunities reference frozen organic ellensdale oranges or frozen citrus products as a line item or scope element. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, city school districts, county departments of community services, and state procurement offices, with school nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program driving the majority of posted activity.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with the State of Georgia, Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, and Early County Schools in Georgia, and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut posting formal bids between May and October 2026. Hancock County Schools issued an IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 due date; Early County Schools issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and non-food supplies; Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items; and the City of Bridgeport issued an electronic bid through its OpenGov portal due June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items subject to Buy American Provision and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards. The code shows little relevant procurement activity and appears to be a mismatch between the specific commodity descriptor and the broader food-service categories state and local governments are actively soliciting.
