UNSPSC 50354446: Frozen organic willowleaf mediterranean tangerines

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

UNSPSC 50354446 Frozen organic willowleaf mediterranean tangerines is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific fresh citrus product, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not substantively reflect that narrow scope. The recent opportunities on record show school districts and municipalities soliciting broadly across grocery and produce categories—frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous food-service supplies—under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts that span 200 to 1,100 line items each. The issuing bodies are consistently 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) and municipal purchasing offices, with one state-level procurement from the State of Georgia. The code appears to be a misapplied tag for broad food-service procurement rather than a specific commodity driver.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with solicitations spanning January through June 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a response deadline of June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for fresh produce under contract PE67080NONST2027000000013 with a June 26, 2026 response date; and the Douglas County School System issuing an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (estimated $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two) with a March 4, 2026 response deadline. All contracts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where specified), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery to school sites Monday through Friday, and Food Service Actual Performance inspection and approval. Award is typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidder with the option to split awards across multiple vendors.
