UNSPSC 50302602: Fingered citrons

The variety of citrons known as fingered citrons

UNSPSC 50302602 Fingered citrons, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement solicitations primarily as an incidental item within broader school nutrition and child care food service contracts rather than as a standalone produce category. The recent opportunities block contains no dedicated procurements for fingered citrons; instead, the code surfaces within comprehensive food and produce RFPs, RFBs, and ITBs that enumerate citrus varieties (including Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, and Tangerines) alongside apples, bananas, berries, and other fresh produce without isolating fingered citrons as a line item. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and other states are actively soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition programs, with citrus generally appearing as one commodity among 40 to 200+ produce line items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program mandates, supplemented by municipal departments of human services, Head Start organizations, and county correction facilities.

The geographic activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana), Southwest (Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and scattered Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern jurisdictions (Connecticut, Ohio). Recent representative procurements include Bulloch County School District's RFP for local fresh produce (May 2026, due date May 4, 2026) specifying citrus varieties including Satsumas and Tangerines among 24 produce items grown within 200 miles; Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (March 2026, due April 14, 2026) covering approximately 60 produce line items without isolating fingered citrons; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (February 2026, due March 4, 2026) spanning two Georgia geographic areas with approximately 72 line items covering diverse citrus. No opportunities in the recent block directly solicit fingered citrons as a standalone commodity or primary focus; the code sees limited standalone activity within state and local procurement, with citrus demand embedded in larger institutional produce contracts weighted toward apples, bananas, carrots, and leafy greens.
