UNSPSC 50344104: Frozen escondido lemons

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

UNSPSC 50344104 Frozen escondido lemons, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's focus on a specialized frozen citrus product does not align with the actual buying patterns reflected in the recent opportunities block, which centers on comprehensive food service procurement spanning proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and consumable supplies for institutional and school nutrition programs.

The recent solicitations under codes in the 50000000 range capture broad food procurement—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (IFB HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education procuring over 1,100 line items of grocery items including frozen products and produce (IFB BNB052266, closed June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas soliciting primary and secondary suppliers of frozen foods, produce, and meat products under a cooperative purchasing framework (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026), and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Florida issuing annual contracts for fresh and frozen produce, grains, proteins, and prepared foods. State and county nutrition programs and school food authorities dominate the issuing body mix, with repeat procurement from Texas HHSC facilities, Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fulton County, Henry County, Douglas County), and Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Missouri, with additional recent solicitations from California (Santa Clara County correctional facility), New Jersey (frozen vegetables for nutrition assistance), Oregon (frozen berries for institutional food service), and Connecticut (Bridgeport schools). The buying pattern across these jurisdictions emphasizes integrated food service supply contracts rather than single-commodity frozen citrus procurement, and state and local procurement offices do not appear to be sourcing escondido lemons as a discrete line item in their institutional feeding operations.
