UNSPSC 50344105: Frozen eureka lemons

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

UNSPSC 50344105 Frozen eureka lemons (Commodity) sees active procurement across multiple state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-operated health and human services institutions that source frozen and fresh produce as part of institutional food service operations. The code describes a narrow commodity line—frozen lemon products specifically—but the recent opportunity dataset shows state and local buyers soliciting frozen citrus, berries, mixed vegetables, and other frozen fruit and produce items under related UNSPSC commodity codes within the broader frozen-food family, with school districts and state health agencies representing the primary issuing bodies.

School districts dominate recent activity: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Decatur City Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) have all posted IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, frozen foods, and related grocery items in the past six months. State-level issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (posting multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the New Jersey Department of Human Services, and the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017660 for groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 for grocery items (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately $969,460.94 of grocery products (due June 24, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Missouri, California, New Jersey, and Oregon. School nutrition programs tied to USDA National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program compliance dominate the demand signal; state hospital and correctional facility food service represents a secondary but consistent market segment. Pricing structures typically require firm, fixed unit rates with limited adjustment provisions tied to CPI or USDA benchmarks, delivery within specified timeframes (often 24 to 48 hours), and compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on issuing body.
