UNSPSC 50342601: Frozen buddha's hand citrons

The variety of citrons known as buddha's hand citrons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342601 Frozen buddha's hand citrons is a Commodity code that names a specific frozen citrus product, yet state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect buying of the named specialty item. Instead, the recent opportunities record shows school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county governments soliciting comprehensive food service contracts—including fresh produce, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and consumables—under codes that span multiple UNSPSC families and classes. The code's narrowly specified product does not align with what state and local buyers are actually procuring in the recent opportunities block, which demonstrates broad-based institutional food service demand rather than demand for a discrete frozen citrus specialty item. This mismatch suggests the code sees limited standalone procurement activity.

State and local issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include school nutrition programs across multiple districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida, and Fulton County Schools in Georgia), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Head Start programs, and county facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction and Oregon Department of Corrections). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, California, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), City of Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery items under the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits (bids due June 26, 2026). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state agencies managing institutional food service for hospitals and state-supported living centers.
