UNSPSC 50342602: Frozen fingered citrons

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

UNSPSC 50342602 Frozen fingered citrons is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring. The recent contract opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch between the nominal commodity definition and actual purchasing activity — the opportunities solicited include comprehensive grocery procurement (proteins, dairy, prepared foods, beverages, pantry staples, food service supplies), fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), dried fruits and nuts, ice cream and frozen novelties, and food service distribution. None of these opportunities specifically request frozen fingered citrons as a line item or commodity class. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active purchasing category.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions — state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county school boards (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Henry County, Fulton County in Georgia; Santa Clara County in California), municipal school systems (Savannah-Chatham, City Schools of Decatur, Bridgeport Board of Education), a county correctional facility (Santa Clara Sheriff), a Head Start agency (Greater Dallas), and a state department of corrections (Oregon). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Douglas, Henry, Fulton, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur counties), Texas (HHSC statewide), and scattered instances in California, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara ITB for dried fruits and nuts at Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026). Because the code shows no genuine market activity for frozen fingered citrons specifically, pursuit under this classification is not advised without direct clarification from the issuing body that frozen fingered citrons are actually among the line items being solicited.
