UNSPSC 50324206: Dried bearss limes

The variety of limes known as bearss limes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324206 Dried bearss limes, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh and dried citrus and specialty produce supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food service operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through school districts and state departments of corrections, which source produce for cafeteria meal programs serving student and inmate populations. The scope spans fresh citrus fruits including limes alongside broader fresh produce categories (apples, berries, melons, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items), all subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Sealed-bid IFBs and ITBs dominate the solicitation activity, with most opportunities requiring firm fixed pricing for the contract term, HACCP compliance documentation, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to designated school or institutional facilities on FOB Destination terms. Vendors must maintain backup stock for emergency delivery and accept USDA grade certification requirements, typically Grade A or Grade B.
