UNSPSC 50352607: Frozen organic ponderosa citrons

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

UNSPSC 50352607 Frozen organic ponderosa citrons, a Commodity code, encompasses frozen specialty citrus products that state and local governments procure primarily through food service supply contracts for schools, senior services, and institutional nutrition programs. The recent solicitation record shows minimal direct demand for frozen ponderosa citrons specifically; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting shelf-stable and fresh produce items through broad food procurement RFQs and IFBs. The issuing bodies reflect school districts, county governments, and city departments of public purchases, all sourcing food and supplies for National School Lunch Program compliance, school breakfast programs, senior services, and institutional dining. Scope spans general grocery items, fresh produce with strict domestic agricultural content requirements, shelf-stable food products, and kitchen supplies bundled into larger line-item contracts rather than single-commodity buys.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus fruits, and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an RFQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items across 35 line items with quotes due October 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) sought bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services on June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies on May 11, 2026 with bids due June 8, 2026. The code shows no recent solicitations specifically targeting frozen organic ponderosa citrons; vendors pursuing this code should note the mismatch between the commodity and current state and local buying patterns, which emphasize fresh produce, bulk shelf-stable items, and compliance-heavy school nutrition contracts.
