UNSPSC 50364206: Canned or jarred bearss limes

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

UNSPSC 50364206 Canned or jarred bearss limes is a Commodity code for preserved citrus products that state and local governments procure primarily through food service channels, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically for limes and considerable mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchases. The opportunities posted against this code span school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and other institutional food services across multiple states including Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Illinois. When recent solicitations do tag items under the code, they typically involve canned or preserved fruit products broadly—applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit items used in high-volume, centralized food distribution environments where long shelf life, unit-price bidding, and FOB destination delivery are standard procurement practices.

Institutional food service buyers—particularly state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and school districts—dominate solicitation activity under this and related commodity codes. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (Solicitation S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, closed June 2, 2026), with historical pricing near $21.84 per case and volumes measured in truckloads. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued large statewide food and consumables IFBs (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2, with maximum potential values reaching $4.5 million over three years) covering multiple categories including canned goods and specialty items for state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts across Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) have posted fresh and processed food procurements under ITBs and RFPs for school year 2026-27 contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code shows little recent specific activity for bearss limes or lime products; the overwhelming preponderance of recent tagged opportunities involve broader commodity fruit and food service items (applesauce, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty foods) for institutional feeding programs where vendors typically bid unit prices inclusive of transportation on an FOB destination basis with firm pricing for the contract term and delivery requirements measured in cases or truckloads to central warehouses or school distribution centers.
