UNSPSC 50355010: Frozen organic blood oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355010 Frozen organic blood oranges is a Commodity code that state and local school districts and education departments actually use to procure frozen and fresh produce — primarily through grocery and food service distribution contracts supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The recent opportunities under this code reveal that school nutrition procurement spans far broader scopes than the nominal code name suggests: districts are soliciting frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery staples, meats, dairy, eggs, condiments, prepared entrees, and complete food-service distribution across multiple product categories. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education — including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) — along with municipalities purchasing for city departments and centralized nutrition programs. Multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative are also active under this code, pooling demand across dozens of member districts.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with Georgia showing the densest procurement momentum across multiple issuing bodies. Representative opportunities include Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items, due June 26, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for fresh produce staples and processed items (72 line items across 60 school sites, due April 23, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (approximately $5.5 million estimated spend across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport's grocery items solicitation (1,100+ line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, due June 30, 2026). All solicitations emphasize Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation clauses tied to documented market indices, delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday within specified time windows, and compliance with whole-grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. School districts typically reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
