UNSPSC 50302605: Diamante citrons

The variety of citrons known as diamante citrons

UNSPSC 50302605 Diamante citrons is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit supply and delivery to state and local institutions, primarily schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior programs, and child care operations. State and local governments procure fresh produce — apples, bananas, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and specialty items — under this code for meal programs serving incarcerated populations, school children, seniors, and vulnerable populations. Procurement typically requires compliance with food safety standards (HACCP plans, USDA criteria, temperature controls), delivery scheduling (weekly or bi-weekly to multiple sites), quality guarantees (freshness, ripeness stage specifications, fill-rate minimums), and insurance coverage ($500,000 to $1 million general liability). Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state mental health facilities, county and city school districts, county social services agencies, municipal senior programs, and Head Start organizations. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and various Georgia school districts are repeat buyers in the recent record, along with Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest recent solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder (IW267420, due October 14, 2026) food warehouses; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval); Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (small business set-aside, due September 3, 2026); and Bryan County School Nutrition's sealed bid for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026).
