UNSPSC 50354431: Frozen organic page mandarin oranges

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

UNSPSC 50354431 Frozen organic page mandarin oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single frozen citrus product—bears little relation to the comprehensive food-service procurement activity currently tagged with this code. School districts, municipalities, and county boards of education are using it to solicit broad grocery and produce purchasing for child nutrition programs, spanning hundreds of line items across frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact rather than an accurate descriptor of commodity activity, and practitioners should rely on the underlying solicitation documents to understand scope rather than the code title.

Recent opportunities show heavy concentration in Georgia and neighboring states, with the Douglas County School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posting major food-service RFPs and IFBs since January 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also solicited grocery items in June 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB in May 2026. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (202 line items, due June 26, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million per area (due March 4, 2026), and the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026). These procurements typically run July 1 through June 30 annually, require firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, impose Buy American domestic-sourcing requirements (minimum 51 percent for processed products), and demand HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, product recalls procedures, and liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence.
