UNSPSC 50354406: Frozen organic fairchild oranges

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

UNSPSC 50354406 Frozen organic Fairchild oranges is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular level of the taxonomy, yet the recent state and local procurement activity in the database shows little evidence of direct solicitation for this specific frozen fruit product. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code involve broad school nutrition procurement for fresh and frozen produce, grocery staples, and complete food service supply — spanning apples, berries, citrus varieties, prepared entrees, dairy, meats, and hundreds of ancillary items as part of district-wide meal programs. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests that frozen organic Fairchild oranges, if purchased at all by state and local education agencies, are typically bundled into broader fresh-produce or frozen-foods line items rather than solicited as a standalone product. School districts and education boards are the primary issuing bodies across all recent opportunities, with occasional participation by state procurement offices and city departments managing food service for municipal operations.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with smaller activity in Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, encompassing over 200 line items including multiple citrus varieties and berries; the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items for the 2026-27 school year via electronic bid due April 29, 2026, across over 900 line items with quantities estimated in the hundreds of cases annually; and the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, requiring whole-grain standards and low-sodium specifications. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued a cooperative RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. All of these opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing including transportation with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday. Vendors must carry $1,000,000 general liability insurance and comply with E-Verify and federal debarment requirements.
