Consistent product. Clear specifications. Procurement-ready support.
PJ Citrus supplies commercial citrus programs for schools, healthcare facilities, universities, senior living, contracted foodservice and other institutions. We match product, origin, pack and delivery requirements to the specific program and confirm documentation before commitment.
Easy-Peel & Portion-Friendly Citrus Options
For programs serving children, patients or high-volume cafeterias, ease of handling and predictable portions matter. Depending on current supply, PJ Citrus can quote mandarins, oranges and grapefruit in sizes and packs appropriate for institutional use.
Tell us the serving format, target piece count or size, storage constraints and origin requirements. We will identify the available product that best matches the specification rather than making unsupported consumption or waste claims.

Origin, Specifications & Supporting Documentation
Institutional buyers often need product specifications, origin information and receiving documentation. PJ Citrus confirms what documentation is available for the specific lot, grower/packer or supplier before quoting it as part of a requirement.
Domestic-origin requirements: when a solicitation requires U.S.-grown product, imported citrus is kept separate and is not represented as eligible domestic product. Certifications held by growers, packers or suppliers are identified as theirs unless PJ Citrus independently holds the certification.
Structured Pricing for Institutional Programs
Institutional pricing depends on the solicitation or agreement, product, origin, season, forecast volume, delivery schedule and freight. PJ Citrus can evaluate fixed-price, scheduled-supply or other contract structures when the economics and sourcing support them.
Any price lock, fuel treatment, adjustment mechanism or renewal period is stated in the written quote or contract — not assumed from the website.
Storage, Shelf Life & Product Handling
Shelf life varies by variety, maturity, lot condition, temperature, humidity and handling after delivery. PJ Citrus does not promise a universal number of weeks on the website. For a specific program, tell us your receiving and storage conditions and we will provide the applicable product guidance available for that shipment.
Delivery & Service Structure
How to Start an Institutional Supply Program
1. Send the requirement — organization, serving program, product specification, origin requirement, estimated volume, delivery locations and dates.
2. We match the supply — product, pack, origin and current availability.
3. Review documentation and quote — including freight and applicable terms.
4. Purchase authorization — supply begins after the applicable PO, delivery order, release or written agreement is confirmed.
For public-sector opportunities, PJ Citrus can review RFQs and solicitations before quoting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you support school or public foodservice requirements? PJ Citrus can review the product and documentation requirements of a solicitation or program and confirm whether the available supply fits them.
Can you deliver to a central kitchen or multiple sites? Delivery structure depends on route, volume, receiving requirements and the written quote.
Do you provide U.S.-grown citrus? When domestic origin is required, we quote eligible product separately and confirm supporting origin information. Imported fruit is not represented as U.S.-grown.
What is the minimum order? Minimums depend on product, route, pack, contract and delivery requirements.
Can you provide special packing or portion formats? Send the exact specification. We will confirm what PJ Citrus or an approved supply partner can provide before quoting.
