UNSPSC 50344203: Frozen mandarin limes

The variety of limes known as mandarin limes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344203 Frozen mandarin limes is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest level of the taxonomy. State and local governments do not appear to be buying frozen mandarin limes under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code instead show school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, and Head Start organizations purchasing broad food-service grocery items—including shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, dairy products, frozen entrees, fresh produce, and disposable food-service supplies for institutional feeding programs, senior services, child care, and state hospital and living-center operations. The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement scope suggests either tagging error at the source or obsolete categorical boundaries that no longer reflect current spending patterns.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state departments in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon; county boards of commissioners in Georgia, Florida, and New Jersey; school districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas; and specialized agencies including state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, and Head Start organizations. Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids on frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0017338V1 with responses due August 18, 2026 (estimated annual volume approximately $9 million); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services under IWQ 140229 with quotes due October 19, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Texas (multiple state-level food-service procurements), Georgia (county and school district procurements), and scattered activity in Oregon, Florida, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Given the categorical mismatch, vendors pursuing this code should verify code applicability against actual purchasing needs before bid preparation.
