UNSPSC 50355003: Frozen organic argentine sour oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic argentine sour oranges that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355003 Frozen organic Argentine sour oranges, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this category in recent state and local solicitations. School districts and municipal governments across multiple states are soliciting bulk food procurement for child nutrition programs, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, and frozen foods rather than a specialized citrus product. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including the 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, and Douglas County School System—alongside state agencies (State of Georgia) and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport). These jurisdictions solicit food procurement to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contracts spanning 300+ food line items (meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments), fresh produce with 72+ itemized varieties, frozen and grocery products meeting whole-grain and low-sodium standards, and delivery to central warehouses and multiple school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional opportunities in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB SN002-2027 for 200+ fresh produce items due June 26, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in Missouri soliciting bids for 900+ grocery items due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across both geographic areas, proposals due March 4, 2026. These solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing inclusive of transportation with no fuel surcharges, and liability insurance minimums of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. The code shows little relevant recent activity to the stated commodity—frozen organic Argentine sour oranges do not appear in any recent school nutrition procurement.
