UNSPSC 50324100: Dried lemons

An acid fruit that is botanically a many-seeded pale yellow oblong berry and is produced by a small thorny tree (citrus limon) that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324100 Dried lemons, a Class code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source records show no solicitations for dried lemons specifically. One opportunity—the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to the Department of Correction Food Services—covers dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans but does not reference dried lemons. The remaining opportunities in the dataset solicit fresh produce, processed grocery items, and general food service supplies for school districts, state agencies, and detention facilities, none of which explicitly include dried lemons as a line item or procurement focus.

The absence of recent opportunities directly targeting dried lemons suggests this code either captures a niche commodity with infrequent state and local demand or is underutilized by issuing bodies in favor of broader fresh or processed produce classifications. School districts, county corrections systems, and state nutrition programs dominate the food procurement landscape in the recent record, but their solicitations emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, proteins, and shelf-stable staples rather than specialty dried citrus products. Vendors tracking this code should monitor whether school nutrition programs and correctional facilities begin incorporating dried lemon products into snack or ingredient specifications, though current activity offers no basis for pursuing opportunities under this classification.
