UNSPSC 50302607: Ponderosa citrons

The variety of citrons known as ponderosa citrons

UNSPSC 50302607 Ponderosa citrons is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely purchase ponderosa citrons as a standalone item; this code sees minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent solicitation tagged under this code—the City of San Antonio's senior center produce market operation (RFP 26-070, posted May 27, 2026)—involves fruit and vegetable processing and distribution services rather than procurement of the ponderosa citron variety itself. Across the recent-opportunities dataset, fresh-produce procurement dominates state and local activity, but solicitations consistently target broader commodity categories (mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, bananas, berries, citrus fruits generally) rather than ponderosa citrons as a specified item. School districts, county boards of education, and child nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies, typically sourcing produce through cooperative purchasing arrangements, fixed-fee distribution contracts, or cost-plus pricing models to support National School Lunch Program and CACFP meal services.

The geographic spread of recent produce procurements skews heavily toward Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon, where school districts and early-childhood programs issue recurring annual or multi-year contracts for fresh produce supply. No recent solicitation identified in the dataset explicitly names ponderosa citrons as a line-item specification; citrus procurement appears as generic "citrus fruits" in broader produce line-item lists (Dougherty County Schools, Glynn County Schools, and Hancock County Schools, all Georgia-based, specified multiple apple and citrus varieties without singling out ponderosa citrons). If ponderosa citrons are being procured at all under this code, they are absorbed into generic fresh-citrus line items within larger institutional food-service contracts rather than purchased as a distinct commodity. Vendors pursuing this code should investigate whether state or local nutrition programs have specific demand for ponderosa citrons or whether sourcing activity occurs outside recent public solicitation channels.
