UNSPSC 50355007: Frozen organic bigaradier apepu oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355007 Frozen organic bigaradier apepu oranges (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work state and local governments actually buy. The code nominally targets a single highly specialized produce item — frozen organic bigaradier apepu oranges — yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code span broad food service procurement for schools, covering hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen goods, groceries, dairy, meats, and non-food supplies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), state governments (Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across elementary and secondary schools. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact rather than a true commodity identifier for the work being procured.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two major RFPs in early 2026 — one for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two) and a second for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000). The City of Bridgeport issued a grocery items solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited bids for fresh produce across 60 school sites (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri sought grocery items across over 900 line items serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily (due April 29, 2026). All solicitations require firm fixed pricing for the contract period, delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday, compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety plans, and federal school lunch program standards. This code does not reliably predict the work actually being solicited.
