UNSPSC 50354100: Frozen organic lemons

An acid fruit that is botanically a many-seeded pale yellow oblong berry and is produced by a small thorny tree (citrus limon) that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354100 Frozen organic lemons is a Class code that does not see meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code is taxonomically narrow — it names a single commodity rather than a product family — yet the recent opportunities posted under it span broad food procurement including shelf-stable pantry items, fresh produce, dairy, meats, and school nutrition supplies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services via informal written quote (IWQ 140229) with response due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport sought over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services via IFB with response due June 30, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, root vegetables, and citrus via IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026. These opportunities are tied to school nutrition programs and municipal food service operations rather than procurement of frozen organic lemons specifically. A state-level food solicitation (State of Georgia PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and an Early County Board of Education food bid (due June 8, 2026) are also posted but lack detailed scopes.

The code shows activity primarily in Georgia and Connecticut, driven by school district nutrition contracts and county social-services food provisioning. The issuing bodies are county boards of education, municipal school districts, county commissioners' offices, and state procurement agencies — the typical buyers of food service commodities for institutional meal programs. No evidence supports that frozen organic lemons are actually being procured under this code in the recent record. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the breadth of the opportunities tagged to it suggests either systematic misclassification in the posting system or that the code is rarely used in isolation for state and local food procurement.
