UNSPSC 50354203: Frozen organic mandarin limes

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

UNSPSC 50354203 Frozen organic mandarin limes is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code focus on broad grocery procurement for school nutrition programs across multiple states — including frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, and condiments — rather than the narrow category of frozen citrus fruit. The Bridgeport Board of Education solicitation (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 grocery line items; Hancock County Schools (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) both solicit fresh produce ranging from apples and berries to specialty citrus, but do not isolate frozen mandarin limes as a line item. The Rockwood R-VI School District (due April 29, 2026) and the Douglas County cooperative-purchasing RFP (due March 4, 2026) similarly cast wide nets across frozen and fresh produce categories without naming frozen organic mandarin limes specifically. The code does not reflect active, targeted procurement of this product category at state and local level; the tagging appears incidental to broader school nutrition supply solicitations.

School districts and their food service departments drive the issuing bodies across recent opportunities, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Decatur City Schools, Early County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Georgia-wide cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts). All solicitations are tied to the National School Lunch Program and require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to central warehouses and school sites Monday through Friday. Questions are due before bid opening dates, which range from mid-April to late June 2026, with contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The presence of organic mandarin limes specifically in state and local school nutrition procurement is not supported by the recent opportunities block — the code shows activity volume in school food supply broadly, not concentration in frozen citrus or organic produce segments.
