UNSPSC 50304204: Philippine limes

The variety of limes known as philippine limes

UNSPSC 50304204 Philippine limes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single representative opportunity in the source block—the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026)—cites beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items but does not isolate Philippine limes as a line item or specify citrus sourcing by origin. State and local food service procurement at the code level is dominated by broader fresh-produce, grocery, and meal-supply solicitations issued by school districts, county education agencies, child care providers, and municipal departments. The issuing-body mix spans school nutrition programs (Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, and numerous other Georgia districts; Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Austin, Meriden, and McAllen independent school districts), county boards of education, Head Start agencies, and city departments of human services and procurement. Geographic concentration of recent activity is strongest in Georgia—home to a substantial cluster of school-district produce solicitations in early 2026—with secondary activity in Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Oregon.

The code appears inactive as a standalone procurement vehicle in the recent state and local market. Philippine limes, as a named commodity, do not surface explicitly in any of the seventeen fresh-produce, grocery, food-service, or meal-program solicitations posted between January and July 2026. School districts and meal-service providers source produce through broad line-item specifications (apples, bananas, citrus "varieties," peppers, tomatoes, and leafy greens), cooperative-purchasing aggregations (GEC Buying Cooperative fresh-produce and eggs RFP, February 2026), and cost-plus pricing models tied to USDA terminal-market reports or Urner Barry commodity indexes, rather than through origin-specific citrus sourcing. Pursuit under this code is not recommended at this time absent a specific, named opportunity explicitly requesting Philippine limes by origin or UNSPSC 50304204 by code number. Firms sourcing specialty or imported citrus to institutional food service should monitor school-district and municipal RFPs for fresh-fruit and fresh-produce categories, but should verify that Philippine limes are competitive on price and supply-chain lead time relative to domestic and other tropical-citrus alternatives sourced through broader produce-distribution channels.
