UNSPSC 50324102: Dried bearss sicilian lemons

The variety of lemons known as bearss sicilian lemons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324102 Dried Bearss Sicilian Lemons is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of fresh and processed produce for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, though the recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically for dried citrus and instead reflect broader fresh produce and commodity food sourcing. State and local school districts and corrections agencies are the primary buyers under this code, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all issuing solicitations in the past six months. The actual work spans hundreds of line items across fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, proteins, grains, and canned goods, all subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and HACCP, E-Verify, and debarment compliance.

Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity, with the Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) specifying over 200 line items including apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and peppers for delivery to three school sites under a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) listing approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce for delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations; and the City of Bridgeport IFB for commodities (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items for school nutrition center supply. Citrus and other specific produce categories are subsumed within these broader institutional food sourcing efforts rather than solicited as standalone line items, and no recent opportunities name dried Bearss lemons explicitly.
