UNSPSC 50354445: Frozen organic wilkins tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50354445 Frozen organic wilkins tangerines (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities on file. The code's nominal scope describes a single frozen fruit product, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri overwhelmingly procure broad grocery and fresh-produce portfolios for school nutrition programs—spanning meats, dairy, vegetables, grains, condiments, and prepared foods—rather than frozen citrus fruit in particular. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual buying patterns suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that the code is used as a catch-all proxy for produce line items within larger food-service RFPs. No recent opportunities solicit frozen organic tangerines specifically or tangerines as a material component of the scope.

The recent opportunities under this code are concentrated among school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut, with the bulk of activity in Georgia school systems. Representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs distributed across 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for grocery items spanning over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). All procurements center on school nutrition programs, require firm fixed pricing with transportation included, mandate HACCP plans and food-safety compliance, and impose Buy American and USDA nutrition standards. If your firm supplies frozen specialty fruits or produce to school food-service distributors, this code shows current activity; direct commodity-level tangerine contracts do not appear in the recent pipeline.
