UNSPSC 50344107: Frozen meyer lemons

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

UNSPSC 50344107 Frozen meyer lemons is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen citrus products procured sporadically by state and local public bodies for institutional food service. The source material contains no recent state or local procurement opportunities specifically for frozen meyer lemons; instead, the most recent solicitations tagged under related food commodity codes span broader grocery, produce, and frozen-food categories for school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The code itself does not appear to be a standalone procurement focus in the state and local market—frozen meyer lemons, when purchased, are typically bundled into larger grocery or specialty produce line-item bids rather than solicited as discrete commodity contracts.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (operating state hospitals and state supported living centers), multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida (for child nutrition programs), county corrections departments, and specialized programs like Head Start organizations. Recent activity shows school districts and state institutional food service operations as the primary buyers of frozen and fresh produce. The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and California, with school nutrition programs in the Southeast (particularly Georgia) and Texas state institutions showing the densest activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026) requesting approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples on a blanket contract basis; the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery solicitation (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for the National School Lunch Program with Buy American requirements; and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 produce line items with delivery to three school locations. None of these opportunities specifically named frozen meyer lemons, indicating the code operates as a subordinate line item within broader institutional food service contracts rather than as a discrete procurement driver.
