UNSPSC 50324108: Dried volkamer lemons

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

UNSPSC 50324108 Dried volkamer lemons is a Commodity code that state and local governments use primarily to classify fresh and dried citrus fruit procurements within broader school nutrition supply contracts. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers do not purchase dried volkamer lemons as a standalone line item; instead, the code appears in aggregated school food-service and institutional cafeteria procurement notices where citrus fruits—typically fresh apples, oranges, lemons, and other varieties—are bundled among hundreds of produce and food items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (including Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), along with county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction in California) and state criminal-justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The scope of work under this code encompasses fresh and processed produce delivery to cafeterias, nutrition centers, and warehouse distribution points, with firm fixed pricing, compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products), USDA nutritional standards, HACCP food-safety plans, and weekly or on-demand delivery schedules.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, particularly Georgia (Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County school systems), with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (TDCJ statewide procurement). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (NUTRIKIDS electronic submission, due April 29, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education Food Products (IFB, due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026). School district contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options; the Santa Clara County ITB for Dried Fruits and Nuts (due February 5, 2026) represents one of the few standalone dried-fruit procurements in the recent dataset and explicitly includes raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends alongside nuts, suggesting that dried volkamer lemons as a specific commodity are either rarely procured at state and local level or are bundled indistinguishably within fresh-citrus line items that dominate school nutrition spending.
