UNSPSC 50355034: Frozen organic pummulo oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355034 Frozen organic pummulo oranges (Commodity) covers specialty frozen citrus products that state and local governments procure as part of broader institutional food-service supply contracts, particularly for school nutrition programs and senior services. The recent opportunities show that state and local purchasing under this code occurs within larger food-service solicitations that bundle fresh produce, frozen items, and shelf-stable goods; the code itself represents a narrow line item within multi-hundred-line-item school lunch and community-services food buys rather than a standalone commodity purchase. Issuing bodies soliciting food products that include frozen citrus are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education) and county governments managing senior services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners); these entities buy frozen and fresh produce as components of National School Lunch Program compliance and community nutrition programs. The State of Georgia also solicits broadly across food, supplies, and kitchen products, though the full scope of that solicitation is contained in an attachment not reproduced here.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026, covering apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus for the 2026-27 school year. Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) sought bids on over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, with electronic submission through OpenGov due June 30, 2026; that contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and mandates 51 percent domestic agricultural content under Buy American provisions. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300-plus food items with bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain specifications. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) posted an informal written-quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026, delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. All school-district solicitations are subject to USDA nutrition standards, HACCP plans, and Buy American requirements where applicable; pricing is evaluated on a per-unit basis with awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
