UNSPSC 50355006: Frozen organic berna oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355006 Frozen organic berna oranges is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and processed food items for school nutrition programs, senior services departments, and food distribution centers. The recent opportunities show that while this specific commodity code nominally identifies frozen specialty citrus fruit, the actual solicitations tagged under it span broad food procurement — shelf-stable staples (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta), fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens, citrus), dairy, and miscellaneous kitchen supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education) alongside county government agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Department of Community Services) and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). These solicitations are structured as informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), and sealed-bid processes with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance where required, and awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and state procurement) with secondary activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, serving the Department of Community Services; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline; and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid for 300+ food items plus 60 non-food and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program due June 8, 2026. Bridgeport's June 2026 procurement of over 1,100 grocery items for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department required domestic agricultural content certification and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with award on a firm fixed basis and payment at Net 45 Days.
