UNSPSC 50355009: Frozen organic blonde oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355009 Frozen organic blonde oranges, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities in this code span grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and comprehensive food-service distribution for school nutrition programs across multiple states, with no specific solicitations for frozen organic citrus. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and school systems supplementing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, supported by city and county purchasing offices on their behalf. The issuing bodies include the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and the State of Georgia itself, indicating that school nutrition procurement dominates this code's recent activity.

Representative recent opportunities span multiple notice types and geographic concentrations. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a due date of June 30, 2026, requiring compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce with a due date of June 26, 2026, spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items with firm pricing and no separate fuel charges. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with proposals due March 4, 2026. Georgia and Missouri account for the highest concentration of recent activity, with Connecticut and broader state-level procurement also represented. The mismatch between the code's frozen organic citrus specification and the actual solicitations for general grocery and produce supply suggests either miscategorization of opportunities or minimal current demand for frozen organic oranges specifically within state and local food-service procurement.
