UNSPSC 50314108: Organic volkamer lemons

The variety of organic lemons known as organic volkamer lemons

UNSPSC 50314108 Organic volkamer lemons (Commodity) names a specific citrus fruit, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect solicitations for organic volkamer lemons or any specialized citrus variety. The eight recent opportunities posted between February and July 2026 focus instead on broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — covering dozens of line items spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories, eggs, and beverages — rather than single-item commodity contracts. Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System (through the GEC Buying Cooperative) all issued RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for produce procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the opportunities are plainly unrelated to procurement of organic volkamer lemons as a line item.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent opportunities, with the largest and most detailed procurements coming from Douglas County School System (Area One projected at $4.4 million annually and Area Two at $1.1 million), Hillsborough County Public Schools (estimated annual budget of $600,000 for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), and McAllen Independent School District (serving 20,000 students across 31 campuses). Representative opportunities include Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 covering approximately 72 line items of produce and eggs for 30 districts across two geographic areas with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles) both due July 29, 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with proposals due March 11, 2026. Across all opportunities, issuing bodies emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, insurance requirements, and price evaluation weighted heavily against cost, with many awarding to multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
