UNSPSC 50334105: Dried organic eureka lemons

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

UNSPSC 50334105 Dried organic eureka lemons is a Commodity code covering dried citrus fruits procured by state and local jurisdictions for food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and state agencies supplying institutional cafeterias and nutrition centers. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions procure dried citrus as part of broader fresh and processed produce acquisitions for school lunch programs and correctional facilities, often bundled with fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, and staple food items rather than as standalone line items. The two largest recent opportunities—Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut—each issued IFBs for comprehensive fresh produce and food commodities spanning over 100 line items, with dried citrus appearing alongside fresh apples, berries, melons, and specialty produce. School districts and state agencies apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products, maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and require vendors to comply with USDA grade standards, E-Verify authorization, and anti-collusion certifications. Contract terms typically run twelve months with firm fixed pricing covering all packing and transportation to designated delivery locations.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Northeast. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce including citrus fruits for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities on June 2, 2026, with electronic bids due June 26, 2026, for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, requiring products compliant with Buy American and MBE/CBE certification under City Ordinance 3.12.130. The State of Georgia issued a broader food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, encompassing food and kitchen products with details in an attached 12 MB specification document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF) due May 4, 2026, for distribution across five geographic areas, reflecting the code's relevance to state correctional facility food service operations as well as school nutrition programs.
