UNSPSC 50355024: Frozen organic marr oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355024 Frozen organic marr oranges is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, represents a narrow product line within broader school nutrition procurement—specifically frozen citrus fruit supplied as one item among hundreds in comprehensive grocery and produce contracts serving child nutrition programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education, with occasional participation from city purchasing departments acting on behalf of school systems. Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases, the Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District have all posted recent solicitations that name frozen fruits or frozen products as line items within larger food-service contracts. Frozen organic citrus appears as a minor component in these broader frozen-food and grocery procurements rather than as a standalone commodity; the Bridgeport and Decatur solicitations explicitly reference frozen products among dozens of other categories, and the fresh-produce bids from Hancock County and Douglas County's GEC Buying Cooperative suggest that frozen variants compete with fresh offerings in the same purchasing cycle.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. Hancock County (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including citrus varieties; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce under Bid 26-34 due April 23, 2026; and Douglas County School System, administering a multi-district GEC Buying Cooperative procurement, posted RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026 with estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One (18 districts). In Connecticut, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought grocery items (over 1,100 line items including frozen products) for the Board of Education due June 30, 2026, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and HACCP compliance. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items (over 900 line items) due April 29, 2026. The code shows minimal standalone activity; frozen organic marr oranges are typically absorbed into larger produce or frozen-food line-item bids rather than solicited as a discrete procurement vehicle, and the source reveals no recent opportunities dedicated specifically to frozen citrus fruit.
