UNSPSC 50302605: Diamante citrons

The variety of citrons known as diamante citrons

UNSPSC 50302605 Diamante citrons is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure diamante citrons specifically; the code sees minimal direct sourcing activity in recent state and local solicitations. The most recent opportunities in the dataset do not include procurement requests for diamante citrons or related specialty citrus varieties. School districts, municipalities, and other public bodies procure fresh produce—including citrus fruits—through broader commodity or family-level codes that span apples, bananas, oranges, and mixed citrus items. When citrus appears in state and local requests, it is typically bundled with other fresh fruits and vegetables under produce contracts rather than isolated by varietal name or premium-segment designation.

Recent state and local produce procurement activity concentrates in school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, where districts issue competitive bids and RFPs for fresh fruits and vegetables to support National School Lunch Programs and specialized feeding initiatives such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (Madison, Wisconsin) issuing RFB 4162 for petite bananas and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with responses due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issuing RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fresh fruits and vegetables for the FFVP with proposals due March 11, 2026. These contracts typically employ fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, or cost-plus-percentage models with firm pricing over 12-month terms and options for renewal. Vendors commonly must demonstrate HACCP plans, food safety certifications, domestic sourcing preference or Buy American compliance, and liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range. The code shows no activity worth pursuing at this time; business development professionals should monitor broader fresh-produce family codes (50301000 or similar) rather than this narrow commodity designation.
