UNSPSC 50304202: Key limes

A lime grown especially in the florida keys and adjacent area. Smaller than regular "persian" limes, the peel is thin, smooth and greenish-yellow when ripe. The flesh is also greenish-yellow and full of seeds. The interior is divided by 10 to 12 segments, quite juicy and has a higher acidity than regular persian limes.

UNSPSC 50304202 Key limes, Commodity Tier, appears in only one recent opportunity: the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program RFP in July 2026. This narrow activity reflects that key limes are a niche produce item rarely solicited as a standalone line in state and local food-service procurement. Across the block of recent fresh-produce, fresh-fruit, and fresh-vegetable opportunities posted since late January 2026—spanning school districts, child-care programs, and senior services—generic citrus categories (oranges, grapefruit, lemons) appear regularly, but key limes do not. The Edinburg solicitation bundles key limes implicitly within "fruits, vegetables, snacks" as part of a five-category food-and-nonfood bid for approximately 400 children served daily under CACFP standards and Texas Department of Agriculture compliance; the RFP also names The Boys & Girls Club (likely a cooperating organization). Local-vendor preference applies under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, with 5% price preference for Edinburg vendors within 5% of low bid.

The code shows minimal recent market activity suitable for independent pursuit. Vendors selling fresh citrus to school districts, child-care networks, and nutrition programs should monitor RFPs and IFBs for blanket produce categories (which typically include citrus) across Texas, Georgia, Florida, and other major school-nutrition procurement regions, but key limes as a specified line item remain exceptionally rare in posted solicitations.
