UNSPSC 50334108: Dried organic volkamer lemons

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

UNSPSC 50334108 Dried organic volkamer lemons is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty dried citrus products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies for food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code seek dried citrus items as components of institutional meal programs, typically embedded within broader food commodity solicitations that span proteins, fresh produce, grains, and processed foods. The issuing bodies are school districts and state correctional authorities, with school nutrition programs representing the primary customer segment. Scope varies from single-item specialty procurements (dried prunes, for example) to line items within comprehensive cafeteria food product bids that may include 100 to 400+ line items across multiple food categories. Vendors must typically provide USDA grade certification, comply with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products, maintain HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety protocols, carry commercial general liability insurance, and meet state-specific vendor registration and anti-discrimination requirements.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, covering delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via IFB on June 2, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 due date and 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026 deadline. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items to supply multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time; TDCJ also solicited whole, pitted, dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) with a February 20, 2026 due date. Dried citrus items appear as subordinate line items within these broader institutional food procurements rather than as standalone specialty solicitations.
