UNSPSC 50364200: Canned or jarred limes

The type of fruit known as lime that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364200 Canned or jarred limes, a Class code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope; the code shows little current purchasing traction. Recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit canned and jarred fruit products broadly—applesauce, pears, and mixed produce—rather than limes specifically, indicating a mismatch between the code classification and what issuing bodies are actually buying. State and local procurement offices, including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut, and Fairfax County Public Schools, are actively soliciting food service products across multiple categories. However, the specific commodity of canned or jarred limes does not feature prominently in the recent opportunity block; when fruit preservation appears in these procurements, vendors compete on applesauce, pears, fresh produce, and broader grocery items for institutional feeding rather than on lime products.

Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state agencies concentrated in the South and West. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (bids due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens). The code itself appears misaligned with current state and local buying patterns; procurement professionals pursuing lime products should verify code assignment and consider whether broader produce or canned-fruit family codes better reflect actual market opportunity.
