UNSPSC 50322606: Dried etrog citrons

The variety of citrons known as etrog citrons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322606 Dried etrog citrons is a Commodity code covering dried citrus fruits and specialty produce items purchased by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public institutional foodservice operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and state prison systems buying fresh and dried produce as components of larger cafeteria supply contracts; the code appears in mixed produce and commodity foodservice RFPs where citrus and specialty fruits are among dozens of line items rather than standalone purchases. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Georgia), municipal school departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments and agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles on behalf of corrections systems. The scope of work spans fresh produce procurement for K-12 school nutrition centers and institutional cafeterias, with recent opportunities bundling dried fruits, fresh citrus, berries, root vegetables, and proteins into comprehensive foodservice contracts requiring USDA compliance, domestic-content certifications, HACCP plans, and firm fixed pricing for multi-month or multi-year terms.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, where recent IFB and RFP activity has posted since May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and July 1, 2026 contract start; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posting an IFB for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products due June 26, 2026 with term through June 30, 2027; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with a firm fixed price requirement and contract term extending through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. All recent opportunities enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items and mandate compliance with USDA grade standards, debarment verification, and commercial general liability insurance.
