UNSPSC 50314204: Organic philippine limes

The variety of organic limes known as organic philippine limes

UNSPSC 50314204 Organic philippine limes, a Commodity code, nominally describes tropical citrus fruit, but recent state and local solicitations show virtually no activity under this code. School districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas are actively procuring fresh produce—apples, bananas, berries, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and citrus varieties including oranges, grapefruits, and lemons—but Philippine limes do not appear in any of the recent opportunities. The single posted opportunity tagged to this code (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) solicits petite bananas, not limes, indicating a classification mismatch rather than organic Philippine lime demand.

State and local school nutrition programs and food service departments dominate citrus procurement through standing RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs. Recent buyers include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). These jurisdictions procure mixed citrus in bulk—typically oranges, grapefruits, and occasionally specialty varieties—as part of broader fresh-produce contracts valued from $78,000 annually (Madison bananas contract) to $4.4 million (Douglas County cooperative 30-district fresh produce and eggs procurement due March 4, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Wisconsin. Vendors pursuing Philippine limes specifically will find no recent competitive solicitations under this code and should evaluate whether the product fits broader produce-supply contracts that list citrus generically rather than by origin.
