UNSPSC 50364102: Canned or jarred bearss sicilian lemons

The variety of lemons known as bearss sicilian lemons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364102 Canned or jarred Bearss Sicilian lemons (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code in the recent opportunities. The recent solicitations tagged with this code document procurement of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader food and consumable products for institutional food service across corrections facilities, schools, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope—preserved lemons—appears disconnected from the actual purchasing activity, which centers on canned and processed fruit products, dried fruit items, and general food service commodities rather than a specific citrus preserve.

The recent opportunities show solicitation activity from state departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services commissions, and school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative current solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and the Douglas County School System in Georgia seeking fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative buying arrangement (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) estimated at $4.4 million annually for Area One. School districts in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri account for the bulk of recent volume, with multiple districts soliciting grocery, produce, and food service contracts under firm fixed-price or cost-plus arrangements for school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code may be a filing error or artifact; the work being bought—institutional food service products generally—would be more accurately tagged to broader food commodity or processed-fruit family codes.
