UNSPSC 50312602: Organic fingered citrons

The variety of organic citrons known as organic fingered citrons

UNSPSC 50312602 Organic fingered citrons (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local school nutrition procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specialized citrus variety, but recent opportunities in the source record no solicitations specifically for organic fingered citrons. Instead, school districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas are procuring broad categories of fresh produce—apples, bananas, berries, melons, leafy greens, root vegetables, and citrus fruits in general—as staples of their National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. The issuing bodies are consistently school districts and county boards of education managing centralized nutrition operations, with occasional participation in cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County School System serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions).

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, with recent activity from Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, and Douglas County school systems, alongside solicitations from Hillsborough County Schools in Florida and school districts in Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD). Representative opportunities include Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for produce and food products due April 29, 2026, specifying over 400 food items with Buy American requirements and USDA whole-grain compliance; Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally grown produce (within 200 miles) due May 4, 2026, seeking 24 items including citrus varieties; and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas due March 4, 2026. These solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, traceability, HACCP compliance, and firm fixed pricing with price redetermination mechanisms, but none specifically target organic fingered citrons as a line item.
