UNSPSC 50302601: Buddha's hand citrons

The variety of citrons known as buddha's hand citrons

UNSPSC 50302601 Buddha's hand citrons is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The available opportunities span fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for institutional food service — correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, parks concessions, and child nutrition programs — but none involve Buddha's hand citrons specifically. The solicitations instead track standardized produce procurement across apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and other common produce staples required by K–12 nutrition programs, state correctional and mental health operations, and municipal food service venues.

State agencies, school districts, and county governments dominate the issuing bodies, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple fresh produce solicitations for food warehouses at Snyder and Wynne), Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center), Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center), and Wisconsin, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas school districts appearing as repeat buyers. The geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with activity also in Florida (Collier County produce RFP for North Collier Regional Park concessions), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, Texas (IW267376, due October 19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ for fresh produce to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, under small business set-aside), Madison Metropolitan School District RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and 4163, both due July 29, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026). No recent procurement activity under this code involves specialty citrus or Buddha's hand citrons.
