UNSPSC 50344100: Frozen lemons

An acid fruit that is botanically a many-seeded pale yellow oblong berry and is produced by a small thorny tree (citrus limon) that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344100 Frozen lemons (Class) encompasses shelf-stable and frozen food procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal activity specifically tied to frozen lemons and instead reflects broad food service and grocery sourcing for institutional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. State and local governments use this code to procure food items including frozen produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable supplies for state hospitals, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, parks concessions, and child care facilities. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), state departments of corrections, county boards of education, county social services departments, city procurement offices on behalf of school districts, and Head Start programs. HHSC appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food service groceries across state hospitals and supported living centers in the August–July 2026 window; Georgia, Texas, New Jersey, and Oregon also show institutional food procurement activity.

Recent solicitations demonstrate the scope of work: the Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017338V1 (posted July 17, 2026) for frozen food products including baked goods, prepared entrees, proteins, and vegetables for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted solicitation S2910000017684 (August 5, 2026) for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples for delivery to Salem with bids due August 19, 2026; and the Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested bids on fresh produce (IFB #SN002-2027, posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items for school nutrition programs. Gwinnett County in Georgia issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, New Jersey, and Connecticut, with school districts and state institutional facilities as primary end users.
