UNSPSC 50344202: Frozen 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, It has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344202 Frozen key limes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the source data. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly target broad categories of institutional grocery procurement — shelf-stable pantry staples, proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, prepared foods, and food service disposables — rather than the specific specialty fruit product named in the code. A Gwinnett County IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) and a Collier County ITN for food-service operations at a regional park both illustrate the mismatch; neither involves frozen key limes. The code shows little evidence of procurement for the specific commodity it nominally describes.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC across multiple state hospitals and supported living centers, New Jersey Department of Human Services), county boards of education and boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County Georgia, Early County Georgia, Hancock County Georgia, Collier County Florida), independent school districts and charter operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Bridgeport Board of Education Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas State Hospitals). Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's broad IFB HHS0017338V1 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bids due August 18, 2026, estimated annual volume approximately $9 million), Early County Board of Education's IFB for food and non-food supplies across three schools (bids due June 8, 2026), Bridgeport Board of Education's solicitation for over 1,100 line items of grocery items under Buy American Provision requirements (bids due June 30, 2026), and the New Jersey Department of Human Services' rebid (T1103 26DPP01307) for frozen mixed vegetables in 12/2 lb. plastic bags (bids due June 17, 2026). The code appears to carry misclassified procurement records rather than legitimate activity targeting frozen key limes specifically.
