UNSPSC 50332602: Dried organic fingered citrons

The variety of organic citrons known as organic fingered citrons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332602 Dried organic fingered citrons (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of produce procurement, but state and local school districts and corrections departments soliciting fresh and processed produce under broader commodity codes routinely include dried citrus and specialty fruit items as line items within comprehensive nutrition and food supply contracts. The recent solicitations show that dried citrus products are purchased as part of larger fresh and processed produce portfolios serving school nutrition centers and institutional food service operations. State and local buyers issue IFBs and RFPs that bundle dozens or hundreds of produce line items—fresh apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits alongside dried and processed alternatives—in single contracts. Issuing bodies include school boards (through their nutrition departments), state corrections departments, and municipal governments operating nutrition centers for school meal programs, all purchasing under federal Buy American provisions that require minimum domestic content thresholds for processed products.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, specifying delivery to three school sites across the 2026-27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center with an electronic bid deadline of June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with a May 4, 2026 deadline, encompassing approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and specialty items with deliveries to six TDCJ distribution points. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 due date. These opportunities confirm that dried citrus products enter procurement as components within much larger fresh and processed produce spend rather than as standalone commodity purchases.
