UNSPSC 50354412 Frozen organic honey mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service, though the code shows limited direct recent activity in state and local procurement. School districts and education agencies constitute the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, sourcing frozen and fresh produce for child nutrition services programs that operate under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements. The actual purchasing activity reflects a broader commodity family spanning frozen fruits, fresh produce, and associated grocery items, with state and local buyers emphasizing USDA Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP certification, comprehensive food safety documentation, and delivery to multiple school sites on weekly schedules. Vendors must meet stringent nutritional standards including whole grain and low-sodium requirements, provide 24/7 food recall accessibility, maintain general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, and accept firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges permitted. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days from delivery and inspection.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut school districts, with notable solicitations including the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (response due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruits, and specialty items for delivery to three schools; the City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (response due May 15, 2026) for ten school sites with quarterly price adjustment provisions; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid (response due April 23, 2026) covering 72 items across 60 schools; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (response due March 4, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also issued comprehensive grocery solicitations in spring 2026. Geographic activity is concentrated across Georgia school systems, Connecticut municipal education agencies, and Missouri school districts, with annual contract periods running July 1 through June 30 and options for multi-year renewal.
