UNSPSC 50355044: Frozen organic washington navel oranges

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

UNSPSC 50355044 Frozen organic Washington navel oranges is a Commodity code that sits below broader frozen and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local governments buying under this code procure frozen citrus fruits and other frozen produce as line items within large grocery and fresh-produce contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Recent solicitations frame frozen organic Washington navel oranges as components of comprehensive frozen-food and grocery buys rather than as standalone items; the code represents a narrow product specification within a much wider scope of frozen fruits, vegetables, and prepared items meeting USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school boards — including city and county school systems and independent districts — that source food through centralized competitive bidding for annual contract periods running July 1 through June 30. The Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, and Early County Board of Education have all posted recent opportunities in this family.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, with additional recent solicitations from Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for grocery items (solicitation BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items across multiple produce varieties; City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026) requiring whole-grain standards and low sodium compliance; and Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One across 30 school districts. All solicitations require firm pricing for the contract period, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, federal E-Verify compliance, debarment certification, and Buy American documentation showing minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content. Delivery windows are standardized Monday through Friday within school operating hours, with prepaid freight and one-for-one pallet exchange on standard 48x40 pallets.
