UNSPSC 50374104: Canned or jarred organic escondido lemons

The variety of organic lemons known as organic escondido lemons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374104 Canned or jarred organic Escondido lemons (Commodity) describes canned and jarred preserved citrus products, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity specific to branded or organic lemon products. Instead, the code appears in procurement notices where it has been tagged alongside broader food-service categories that include shelf-stable canned goods, preserved fruits, applesauce, and fresh produce. State and local governments use this code chiefly as part of larger food-supply contracts for institutional feeding — correctional facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county social services. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments (Oregon, Texas, Illinois), county boards of education and social services (Hancock County and Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin, Texas), municipal school boards (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized public facilities. No recent solicitation targets canned or jarred organic lemons as a stand-alone commodity.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Western states, with Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas health and criminal-justice agencies, Georgia state and county systems, Illinois state veterans services, and Connecticut municipal nutrition centers representing the bulk of recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,904 cases, bids due June 2, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.827 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including preserved fruits, bids due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), and the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center's IFB for commodities spanning 115 line items (electronic bids due June 26, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content requirements appear in school nutrition and state facility contracts; Oregon applies state-of-origin and resident-bidder preferences. The code itself shows little demand specific to organic or regionally branded citrus products; businesses pursuing this code should expect to compete on broader preserved-fruit and institutional-food categories within larger awards rather than specialized citrus sourcing.
