UNSPSC 50352605: Frozen organic diamante citrons

The variety of organic citrons known as organic diamante citrons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352605 Frozen organic diamante citrons is a Commodity code that covers frozen specialty citrus products, though recent state and local procurement activity tagged with this code shows little demand for the product itself and instead reflects broader school nutrition procurement spanning multiple frozen and fresh food categories. The actual work being solicited under this classification involves supplying frozen foods, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across school districts, municipal education systems, and state education agencies. School nutrition programs are the dominant issuing bodies, with individual school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative representing 30 districts across Georgia) all soliciting under this code. These buyers require firm fixed pricing with no fuel or freight surcharges, delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites Monday through Friday between early morning and 2:00 p.m., compliance with HACCP plans and food recall procedures, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), nutrition standards including whole grain and low-sodium formulations, and $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 liability insurance coverage with the school district named as additional insured.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with the most active issuing bodies being Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia itself. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with electronic bids due the same day through OpenGov; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia soliciting food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with bids due June 22, 2026; and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with an estimated annual expenditure of $5.5 million combined, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options for additional one-year terms. While the Commodity code nominally identifies frozen organic diamante citrons, actual procurement focuses on commodity-level food service distribution supporting institutional meal programs rather than the specialized citrus product the code name suggests.
