UNSPSC 50324105: Dried eureka lemons

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

UNSPSC 50324105 Dried eureka lemons (Commodity) comprises dried lemon products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food service operations. Recent solicitations show that dried lemons enter procurement as line items within broader fresh and dried produce buys rather than as standalone dedicated purchases — the code appears alongside fresh citrus fruits, dried prunes, and other produce in multi-category food sourcing RFPs and IFBs. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state departments and correctional agencies; these entities consolidate produce sourcing into annual nutrition contracts that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items. Bid structures typically require firm pricing for the full contract term (commonly July 1 through June 30 for school-year cycles) with transportation prepaid to designated delivery sites and compliance with Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic content thresholds, HACCP protocols, and USDA grade certifications.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items with responses due June 26, 2026, serving three school locations across the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 commodity line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, with the contract term running through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB with a June 22, 2026 response date. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for 382 cafeteria food product line items serving five geographic regions, with responses extended to May 4, 2026. These opportunities show that dried lemon procurement occurs as part of composite food sourcing within established school-year and fiscal-year procurement cycles, with award typically based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value scoring, and with payment terms generally Net 30 to Net 45 days.
