UNSPSC 50314200: Organic limes

The type of organic fruit known as organic limes

UNSPSC 50314200 Organic limes, a Class code, does not match the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source records show school districts and educational institutions soliciting fresh produce—bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, citrus fruits, eggs, and mixed fruit-and-vegetable snacks—but organic limes appear in none of the representative opportunities. The code's nominal scope (organic limes as a commodity) and the work actually being bought (broad fresh-produce supply chains for school nutrition programs) diverge sharply, suggesting a tagging or taxonomy alignment issue in the source system rather than active procurement demand for organic limes specifically.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin, with recent opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Salt Lake City School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System. These districts typically issue RFBs, RFPs, or IFBs for annual or multi-year fresh-produce contracts tied to the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with contract values ranging from approximately $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan, nine-month term) to $4.4 million (Douglas County cooperative, 18-district Area One). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Liberty, Douglas counties), with additional recent activity in Texas (McAllen, Austin), Utah (Salt Lake City), and Wisconsin (Madison). Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative covering 72 produce line items across two geographic regions (due March 4, 2026). Vendors are expected to comply with Buy American provisions, HACCP food-safety requirements, traceability documentation, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), and affirmative action or diverse-business certifications where applicable.
