UNSPSC 50202405: Key lime juice

UNSPSC 50202405 Key lime juice, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within institutional and school food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for key lime juice specifically. State and local governments purchasing under this code acquire key lime juice primarily as a beverage component, flavoring agent, or condiment for cafeteria operations, state hospital food service, and community nutrition programs. The solicitations in the block span broader food commodity categories—Gwinnett County purchasing shelf-stable food items for senior services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring frozen and fresh food products for state hospitals and supported living centers, and school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bridgeport) acquiring produce and groceries for National School Lunch Program operations—but none name key lime juice as a line item. The code sits within a purchasing environment dominated by state departments of health and human services, county boards of education, municipal school districts, and regional social-service agencies that aggregate food procurement through annual IFB and RFP cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon, where state agencies and school districts issue competitive solicitations on annual cycles timed to fiscal-year starts or school-year transitions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections conduct the most visible procurement activity, with HHSC issuing multiple IFBs across state hospitals and supported living centers from July through August 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce via IFB due June 26, 2026; Gwinnett County (Georgia) sought informal quotes for senior services food items due October 19, 2026; and Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a due date of March 6, 2025. The code shows no current direct activity for key lime juice; vendors in this space typically pursue broader food-service contracts and source specialty juice inputs as subordinate line items within larger grocery or frozen-food awards rather than as standalone commodity procurements.
