UNSPSC 50355033: Frozen organic pera oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355033 Frozen organic pera oranges (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show the code applied to broader fresh and frozen produce categories rather than frozen pera oranges specifically. What state and local governments actually buy under this classification are fresh produce items—apples, bananas, berries, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, and melons—along with frozen food products, eggs, and comprehensive grocery items to support school nutrition programs serving breakfast and lunch under federal USDA guidelines. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, ranging from small rural districts to large urban systems serving thousands of daily meal participants. The City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Rockwood R-VI School District all appear in recent opportunities, along with municipal procurement offices (Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases) and state-level agencies (State of Georgia).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional recent solicitations from Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) due June 26, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce items with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples, due April 23, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, due June 30, 2026. Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two areas carried an estimated combined annual spend of $5.5 million and closed March 4, 2026. All contracts carry firm-fixed pricing throughout the period, include packing and transportation with no separate fuel surcharges, and require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), USDA nutrition standards, and product liability insurance. Payment terms are typically Net 30 to Net 45 days from delivery, with quarterly or semi-annual price-adjustment provisions triggered by documented market increases exceeding specified thresholds (typically 3 percent to 10 percent).
