UNSPSC 50354424: Frozen organic murcott honey oranges

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

UNSPSC 50354424 Frozen organic murcott honey oranges is a Commodity code that describes a specialized citrus product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The source shows nine recent solicitations — all from school districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut — but none of these opportunities specifically solicit frozen organic murcott honey oranges. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad grocery procurement (Bridgeport Board of Education's 1,100+ line-item grocery bid), fresh produce across multiple varieties (Hancock County's 200+ item fresh produce solicitation, Savannah-Chatham's 72-item produce contract, and Douglas County's multi-district cooperative fresh produce bid), general food supply and distribution (Douglas County's $9 million main-line distributor RFP, Early County's 300+ food items across meats, dairy, grains, and condiments, Decatur's frozen foods and grocery items, and Rockwood's 900+ line-item grocery bid), and specialty categories including eggs. The issuing bodies are exclusively school nutrition programs — K-12 districts and their central offices — supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 and firm pricing requirements throughout the term.

Geographic concentration is heavily weighted to Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Early County), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) and Connecticut (Bridgeport), reflecting regional school food service procurement cycles aligned to the academic year. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's June 30, 2026 IFB for grocery items (solicitation BNB052266, due 2:00 p.m. electronic submission), Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits (solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013), and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend (solicitation PE64810NONST2026000000047, responses due March 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity — the mismatch between the code's specific product designation and the broad multi-line groceries and produce actually being solicited suggests this Commodity code may be misapplied to school nutrition contracts or carries minimal procurement volume under its precise specification.
