UNSPSC 50202405: Key lime juice

UNSPSC 50202405 Key lime juice is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy juice and citrus products under this code primarily as ingredient components within broader food-service procurement—specifically appearing in school nutrition programs, institutional cafeteria operations, and correctional-facility food services. The code captures beverage concentrates and specialty juice inputs for meal preparation rather than retail packaged beverages; recent solicitations show the code embedded within larger grocery and food-supply contracts rather than solicited as a standalone line item. Issuing bodies span school districts, state health and human services agencies operating institutional facilities, counties, and special-purpose food authorities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts (Fulton County, Henry County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), Connecticut municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport), Head Start agencies, and correctional facilities represent the mix of recent buyers. The code appears incidental to comprehensive grocery and food-service supply contracts where fresh and specialty ingredients are lumped into multi-hundred-line-item procurements.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast—Georgia school districts dominate recent solicitations, with significant secondary activity in Texas (HHSC statewide institutional food service) and scattered municipal activity in Connecticut, Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and California (Santa Clara County correctional food services). No recent opportunities solicit key lime juice as a primary commodity or in quantities that suggest it is a material procurement driver. The code may signal opportunistic sourcing within larger produce or specialty-ingredient line items, but the available recent-solicitation data does not show standalone or category-leading demand for this commodity. Business development professionals should treat this code as a potential add-on play within broader school nutrition or institutional food-service bids rather than a primary pursuit opportunity.
