UNSPSC 50344105: Frozen eureka lemons

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

UNSPSC 50344105 Frozen eureka lemons is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses frozen and fresh produce procurement for institutional food service—primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. State and local governments purchase frozen produce under this code as part of broader food-service supply contracts supporting school lunch programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services, and child care facilities. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments of health and human services in Texas, state corrections and education agencies in Oregon and Georgia, county boards of education in Georgia and Mississippi, county commissioners in Florida, city procurement offices in Connecticut, independent school districts, Head Start programs, and county senior services centers. Texas HHS dominates recent activity, issuing multiple food procurement ITBs and IFBs for state institutions statewide; Georgia school districts and county agencies also post regularly. Texas state agencies are repeat buyers of frozen food products across multiple facilities, with procurement centralized through the HHSC Procurement and Contracting Services division.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017684 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples, due August 19, 2026, with a historical prior-year unit price of $0.797 per pound and Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to 10%; the Texas HHS IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, due August 18, 2026, with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and a maximum potential contract value of $19 million over the full contract period; Early County Board of Education's IFB for food and non-food products, due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items including frozen vegetables and fruits; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026, with over 200 line items. Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items, due October 19, 2026, and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, represent the municipal and regional agency footprint.
