UNSPSC 50344102: Frozen bearss sicilian lemons

The variety of lemons known as bearss sicilian lemons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344102 Frozen bearss sicilian lemons is a Commodity code. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows virtually no direct alignment with the nominal product description; instead, issuing bodies are soliciting broad grocery and food service contracts that encompass frozen produce, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and related food service supplies for school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care agencies. The code appears to be tagged inconsistently or as a catch-all within larger multi-category food procurement notices. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state agencies), county boards of education (Fulton, Henry, Douglas, Bulloch, Hancock, Early counties in Georgia; Santa Clara County, California), municipal school systems (Bridgeport, Savannah-Chatham, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; Hillsborough County in Florida; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), state correctional and institutional operators (Oregon Department of Corrections), and federally funded child care providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas HHSC appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for state institutional food service across hospitals and supported living centers.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia (Douglas County, Fulton, Henry, Bulloch, Hancock, Early, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, and state-level solicitations), with secondary activity in Texas (HHSC statewide procurements), Florida (Hillsborough County), Missouri (Rockwood), Oregon (Department of Corrections), California (Santa Clara County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), spanning 110 line items with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport IFB BID052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting school nutrition (due June 30, 2026), subject to Buy American and healthy-standards compliance; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026). Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with optional renewal terms. Pricing is submitted as firm fixed unit rates on competitive basis, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best value. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, food recall procedures, liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability), and compliance with federal Buy American and nutrition standards. The code shows steady mid-tier procurement activity but does not reflect specialization in the nominal frozen Sicilian lemon commodity itself.
