UNSPSC 50342605: Frozen diamante citrons

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

UNSPSC 50342605 Frozen diamante citrons is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy frozen produce items under this code as components of broader food service and nutrition procurement — not as standalone specialty citrus products. The recent solicitations show school districts, state health agencies, and counties procuring frozen and fresh produce as part of comprehensive grocery and food service contracts that span proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, and prepared foods. Frozen produce appears across these procurements as one line item among hundreds, typically in mixed-vegetable or fruit assortments rather than citrus-specific SKUs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school districts, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the County of Santa Clara all solicited frozen produce within larger food service frameworks. Issuing bodies span state health departments managing institutional cafeterias, county school nutrition programs, county correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers — a mix of education, health, and detention food service operations across multiple regions.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with additional recent solicitations from California, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and New Jersey. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), covering approximately 110 line items with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, dairy, and meats for the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items delivered to three school sites (due June 26, 2026). The Douglas County School System also issued a concurrent RFP seeking a main-line food distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). These procurements emphasize firm fixed pricing for multi-month or annual terms, compliance with USDA nutrition and Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, delivery logistics to multiple sites, and capability to handle hundreds of SKUs across food categories — signaling activity weighted toward established food service distributors and regional suppliers rather than specialty produce vendors.
