UNSPSC 50354429: Frozen organic orlando tangelo oranges

This early maturing tangelo is noted for its juicy, mild, sweet flavor. Orlandos are flat-round in shape and larger in size. The Orlando tangelo originated as a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine. This tangelo has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354429 Frozen organic orlando tangelo oranges is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen orlando tangelo oranges specifically. Instead, school districts and municipalities are soliciting comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts that span hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared foods, and non-food supplies. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for grocery items, for example, encompasses over 1,100 line items including frozen products, fresh produce, meats, dairy, and beverages in support of the National School Lunch Program; similarly, Hancock County Schools' June 2026 fresh produce bid spans over 200 line items of fresh and specialty fruits and vegetables. These are broad food service procurement events, not specialized citrus sourcing. The code's nominal scope and the actual work being purchased show substantial divergence, suggesting that either the code has been misapplied to general food supply opportunities or the commodity itself sees minimal standalone demand in the state and local market.

The recent activity is concentrated in school districts across Georgia and a handful of other states—notably the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Early County Schools in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia—all issuing food service contracts for the 2026-27 school year with response deadlines between January and June 2026. All procurement events are framed around National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content), HACCP certifications, whole-grain and nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. While frozen produce items appear as line items within broader solicitations, no recent opportunity identified in the source is specifically soliciting frozen orlando tangelo oranges as a standalone commodity.
