UNSPSC 50355032: Frozen organic parson brown oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355032 Frozen organic parson brown oranges is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of frozen organic citrus; instead, they document solicitations for general food procurement spanning shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, school lunch program staples, and food service supplies across multiple product categories. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items including canned proteins, rice, and sauces for senior services; Bridgeport Board of Education issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, frozen products, and condiments for the National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Board of Education bid fresh produce across 200+ line items; and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items, non-food supplies, and fluid milk. The issuing bodies are school districts, county social services departments, and municipal education boards in Georgia and Connecticut. State and local governments buying under this code are procuring bulk food inventories to support institutional food service operations—school lunch programs, senior nutrition services, and board of education food distribution—rather than specialized frozen citrus products.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the State of Georgia itself) with one Connecticut opportunity (Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items to the Department of Community Services with F.O.B. Destination delivery required within 72 hours; Bridgeport Board of Education's electronic IFB (BNB052266) due June 30, 2026, for grocery items subject to Buy American Provision requirements (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with contract term July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027; and Hancock County Board of Education's sealed-bid IFB (SN002-2027) due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce across apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and citrus with delivery to three school locations and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code's title suggests a narrowly specialized commodity, but the actual procurement activity mapped to it reflects generalist food service procurement for public institutions.
