UNSPSC 50374107: Canned or jarred organic meyer lemons

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

UNSPSC 50374107 Canned or jarred organic meyer lemons, a Commodity code, describes specialty preserved citrus products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—principally cafeterias, senior centers, state hospitals, corrections facilities, and school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific item; instead, state and local buyers are posting RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs for broad food-product bundles where canned and preserved fruits appear as line items among dozens of other shelf-stable, frozen, and fresh foods. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services includes canned vegetables and proteins but does not specify organic meyer lemons. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers spans 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products; the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce; and school districts including Austin ISD and Hancock County Board of Education are soliciting fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps. None of these opportunities names organic meyer lemons as a distinct line item or primary commodity focus, suggesting the code sees little standalone procurement activity at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards and school districts (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Austin ISD), city governments (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-supported living centers and correctional facilities. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Mississippi), Southwest (Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Northeast (Connecticut and Illinois), with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Given the absence of direct meyer-lemon solicitations in the recent block, pursuit of this code should focus on identifying bundled food-service RFPs and RFQs where organic or specialty citrus products can be offered as approved-equivalent substitutes or supplemental line items within larger procurement frameworks.
