UNSPSC 50344208: Frozen seedless limes

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

UNSPSC 50344208 Frozen seedless limes is a Commodity code that describes specialty frozen fruit products; however, the recent state and local opportunities show virtually no direct demand for this item. The code's nominal scope—frozen limes without seeds—does not align with the frozen-fruit procurement activity currently visible in state and local contracts. Most recent frozen-fruit solicitations under related codes specify berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, Marion berries), tropical fruits, or mixed frozen fruits, but frozen limes do not appear in any of the posted opportunities from the past six months. School districts, state health and human services agencies, county correctional facilities, and Head Start organizations are the dominant buyers of frozen and fresh produce, yet their bids consistently emphasize whole fresh produce, berries, vegetables, and common frozen items—not frozen limes. Oregon Department of Corrections, for example, recently procured frozen berries; Santa Clara County sought dried fruits and nuts; and multiple Georgia school districts bid fresh and frozen produce in standard categories, none of which included frozen seedless limes.

The geographic spread of recent commodity-food procurements covers Texas (HHSC state hospitals and supported living centers, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Georgia (multiple school districts), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), California (Santa Clara County), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). If frozen limes were being sought at state and local level, the evidence would likely surface in the Texas institutional-food bids or the school-nutrition contracts now active; their absence suggests minimal or no current market demand for this specific commodity under this UNSPSC code. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as a low-activity or no-activity category in current state and local procurement and focus instead on the broader frozen-fruit or commodity-produce families where district and institutional buyers are actively spending.
