UNSPSC 50355008: Frozen organic bittersweet daidai oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355008 Frozen organic bittersweet daidai oranges is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The solicitations tagged under this code span comprehensive grocery and produce procurement for school nutrition programs and municipal food service, encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, and supplies — substantially broader in scope than a single specialty fruit item. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a useful frame for understanding the work being solicited; state and local buyers are procuring full-service food provision for school districts and municipalities, not specialty citrus products in isolation.

The issuing bodies are school districts and municipal governments across the Southeast and Midwest, with heavy concentration in Georgia and Missouri school systems. Recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) seeking over 1,100 grocery line items via IFB with a June 30, 2026 deadline; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking fresh produce with bid opening June 29, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) soliciting over 900 grocery items via NUTRIKIDS electronic bid due April 29, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) requesting frozen foods and groceries via IFB due May 15, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing a cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated combined annual spend of $5.5 million and proposal deadline March 4, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) also posted produce and grocery solicitations in the same window. The geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut. No meaningful recent activity under the specific Commodity code as named is evident across these opportunities.
