UNSPSC 50304201: Indian sweet limes

The variety of limes known as indian sweet limes

UNSPSC 50304201 Indian sweet limes is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce supply for institutional food service — primarily cafeterias, correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. State and local governments procure fresh fruits and vegetables under this code as part of meal programs serving children, incarcerated persons, patients, and seniors; the code captures individual produce line items and commodity-level supply contracts, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically naming Indian sweet limes. Instead, issuing bodies tag produce procurement — from single-item bids for petite bananas and apple varieties to full-service grocery and fresh-produce supply contracts — under this commodity tier. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, multiple Georgia school districts, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, school districts in Wisconsin and Mississippi, Collier County (Florida), and Head Start of Greater Dallas represent the issuing-body mix; school nutrition programs and correctional or mental health facilities dominate the recent activity. Contract vehicles include RFP, RFQ, ITN, and IFB notice types, with response dates typically 3–4 weeks from posting.

Georgia and Texas account for the largest concentration of recent activity, with Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County, Bartow County) and Texas entities (TDCJ with three separate warehouse contracts; Head Start of Greater Dallas; City of Edinburg CACFP) representing the majority of posted opportunities. Illinois (Department of Corrections Joliet facility, Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Mississippi (DeSoto County School District), Florida (Collier County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education) show secondary activity. Representative recent solicitations include Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Wynne Food Warehouse (solicitation IW267411, due October 14, 2026), Illinois Department of Corrections small-purchase bid for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000). School nutrition programs increasingly emphasize local sourcing (Bartow County requires produce within 400 miles; Madison Metropolitan applies a 15% geographic-preference weight), Buy American compliance, and HACCP documentation as standard bid requirements.
