UNSPSC 50355041: Frozen organic shamouti jaffa oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355041 Frozen organic shamouti jaffa oranges, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consist entirely of broad-based food and grocery purchasing for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and institutional meal programs — spanning shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, bread, and complete meal-support supplies rather than the specific frozen citrus fruit the code nominally describes. State and local buyers are using this code to solicit general food service procurement; the mismatch between the code's narrow name and the scope of actual purchasing suggests misclassification in the tagging process rather than genuine demand for frozen shamouti oranges.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state departments (State of Georgia), with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items spanning breakfast, produce, dairy, and frozen products with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Schools' IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026-27 with bids due June 26, 2026; and Early County Schools' line-by-line bid for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026. State and local food procurement under this code appears driven by school nutrition programs and commodity-based institutional purchasing with Buy American and nutritional compliance requirements, but the code itself shows little relevance to the actual commodity being bought.
