UNSPSC 50354428 Frozen organic nocatee tangelo oranges is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty citrus and frozen fruit products for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. However, the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of frozen tangelos specifically; instead, they span comprehensive school nutrition solicitations encompassing broad grocery categories, fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, and food distribution services. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and boards of education—including Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—along with one state-level procurement by the State of Georgia. These jurisdictions solicit food contracts to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with specifications requiring USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and adherence to nutrition standards including whole grain and low-sodium requirements.
