UNSPSC 50354435 Frozen organic robinson oranges is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen citrus products procured by state and local school nutrition programs to support child nutrition services. In practice, state and local governments use this code to purchase frozen produce and related grocery staples for school breakfast and lunch programs operating under federal nutrition standards. The solicitations tagged under this code reflect a broader school food service procurement ecosystem: districts and school systems source frozen and fresh produce alongside comprehensive grocery portfolios—including meats, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared items—to meet Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act requirements, USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), and whole-grain and low-sodium specifications. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), county boards of education, and state purchasing offices. School nutrition programs consistently require vendors to maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, provide extensive nutritional documentation and product labeling, comply with E-Verify and federal debarment verification, carry commercial general liability insurance (typically $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), and deliver Monday through Friday during restricted windows to central warehouses and individual school sites on firm-priced, prepaid-freight basis with no fuel surcharges.
