UNSPSC 50332600: Dried organic citrons

The type of organic fruit known as organic citrons that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332600 Dried organic citrons, a Class code, describes preserved citrus products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations reveal that school districts and state agencies are buying fresh and processed produce under this code's broader family classification, though the specific commodity of dried citrons appears minimally in recent state and local opportunities. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB and the City of Bridgeport's commodities solicitation both encompass citrus fruits and other produce items as components of larger food-service contracts, but neither isolates dried citrons as a line item. School districts and state nutrition operations represent the primary issuing bodies, with contracts typically structured as annual food-service agreements requiring compliance with Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic-content thresholds and HACCP protocols.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, covering over 200 line items including citrus fruits for delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities under BNB053266, due June 26, 2026, through its OpenGov e-procurement portal, specifying 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic Texas regions. The code shows limited direct activity for dried citrons specifically; procurement volumes appear concentrated in fresh-produce buys for school nutrition rather than processed citron specialties.
