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 (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity captured in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally describes a single dried citrus product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass broad-based fresh and frozen food supply for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state agencies—primarily fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than dried citrus items. Only one solicitation explicitly addresses dried fruit (Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix), and none name dried bearss sicilian lemons as a line item.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), alongside one state department (Georgia), one state prison system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and one county corrections facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff). Georgia school districts account for the largest share of recent activity. The work being solicited spans fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus), proteins (beef, chicken, fish), dairy products, grains, beverages, and condiments—with annual contract terms running July through June and sealed bids or RFPs as the dominant notice type. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items with delivery to three school sites (due June 26), Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 commodities procurement spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit/vegetable products (due June 26), and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27). Geographic concentration centers on Georgia and the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions, with secondary activity in Texas, California, Missouri, and Connecticut. The mismatch between the code's nominal product (dried lemons) and actual solicited goods (fresh and frozen mainstream food commodities) signals either a taxonomy assignment error or misalignment in how state procurement offices are classifying routine nutrition supply contracts.
