UNSPSC 50355004: Frozen organic bahianinha oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355004 Frozen organic bahianinha oranges is a Commodity code whose nominal scope encompasses a single produce line item; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with frozen organic citrus products. The eight recent solicitations in the opportunities block reflect a far broader range of grocery procurement — fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, prepared entrees, and complete food-service supply across school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's specific name and the work actually being solicited suggests this code sees minimal targeted procurement, or that jurisdictions are using it as a catch-all classification for diverse food-service aggregations. State and local buyers under food-service codes span school districts (including individual districts and cooperative consortia serving multiple districts), city and county procurement offices, and state departments of education. Repeat solicitors include the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Decatur City Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System, reflecting concentrated activity among Georgia and Missouri school nutrition programs.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The Douglas County School System issued two consecutive RFPs in January and February 2026 — one for fresh produce and eggs as part of a 30-district cooperative buying arrangement covering approximately $5.5 million in combined annual spending, and a second for general food supply and distribution services estimated at approximately $9 million annually. The Bridgeport Board of Education solicited grocery items across over 1,100 line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 under an IFB, while Hancock County Board of Education and Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued separate fresh-produce IFBs with response dates in late June and early June 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri posted a grocery solicitation encompassing over 900 line items with electronic submissions required by April 29, 2026. City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and the State of Georgia also posted food-procurement IFBs in April, March, and May 2026. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP plans, firm pricing throughout the contract period (typically July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), and no separate fuel surcharges; delivery frequency is Monday through Friday, with payment terms commonly set at Net 30 or Net 45 days.
