UNSPSC 50355037: Frozen organic salustianas oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355037 Frozen organic salustianas oranges, Commodity tier, does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally names a single specialty produce item, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly procure broad grocery and fresh produce baskets for school nutrition programs — spanning frozen and fresh items across vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, grains, snacks, and non-food supplies. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (BNB052266) for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, supporting the National School Lunch Program with strict Buy American (51% domestic agricultural content), nutrition labeling, and whole-grain requirements. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and citrus fruits in an IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013) due June 26, 2026. City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items spanning multiple product categories due May 15, 2026. Early County Board of Education and Rockwood School District sought line-item food bids covering meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and miscellaneous products. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and Douglas County School System (through cooperative purchasing) procured fresh produce and eggs. The code shows no evidence of narrowly specialized frozen organic salustianas oranges procurement and instead reflects generic grocery and produce classifications applied to standard school nutrition supply contracts.

Recent activity concentrates among school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with notice types predominantly IFB and RFP. Geographic spread includes Georgia (Hancock County, Decatur, Early County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood School District in St. Louis County). Douglas County's GEC cooperative vehicle (PE64810NONST2026000000047) covers 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual produce and eggs spending of $5.5 million combined. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract periods, and delivery to multiple school sites. The code as currently tagged offers little signal value for suppliers targeting specialty frozen citrus — the recent opportunities point instead to generalist food service distribution and broad commodity basket procurement by education agencies on annual school year cycles.
