UNSPSC 50334202: Dried organic 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. It has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334202 Dried organic key limes (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty produce item; state and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school nutrition programs buying fresh and processed fruits as part of broader cafeteria food procurement, though the recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for dried key limes specifically. The scope of work under this code and its parent families encompasses fresh produce supply contracts for school lunch programs, institutional food service for correctional facilities, and statewide nutrition commodity procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, state departments managing multi-agency food procurement, and criminal justice system nutritional providers.

Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs across the Southeast and Texas dominating activity.
