UNSPSC 50354427: Frozen organic natsumikan mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50354427 Frozen organic natsumikan mandarin oranges is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen citrus fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity under this code shows little direct procurement of the specified item. Instead, solicitations tagged with this code reflect broader food procurement by school districts, county agencies, and municipal departments supporting child nutrition programs and community services. The work encompasses line-by-line food sourcing across produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and specialty items, with vendors competing on unit pricing, delivery performance, compliance with nutrition standards, and domestic agricultural sourcing requirements. Issuing bodies include school boards (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County), state agencies (State of Georgia), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport). The dominant buyer profile is K-12 school nutrition programs operating under National School Lunch Program and Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education released an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date and July 2026 contract start. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought electronic bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the school board's Food & Nutrition Services through an OpenGov e-Procurement portal with a June 30, 2026 deadline and a July 2026 contract start. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus 60+ non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 response date. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid with a June 22, 2026 deadline. None of these recent solicitations specifically name frozen natsumikan oranges as a line item; the code shows no targeted recent activity for that specialty product.
