UNSPSC 50374203: Canned or jarred organic mandarin limes

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

UNSPSC 50374203 Canned or jarred organic mandarin limes is a Commodity code that spans procurement of shelf-stable preserved citrus fruits and similar canned or jarred produce items for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal a broader pattern of procurement across fresh and preserved produce, proteins, dairy, and general food commodities rather than a narrow focus on the specific product type. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state agencies (including corrections and veterans' services), municipal school districts, and specialized state institutional operators such as supported living centers and state hospitals. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Austin Independent School District represent recent repeat or high-volume purchasers of food items under similar commodity classifications. These jurisdictions typically solicit using IFB, ITB, or RFP methods with firm-fixed pricing structures and multi-item line-by-line awards, often splitting awards across multiple vendors when terms permit.

Recent activity is dispersed across Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026, with historical unit pricing at $21.84 per case); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-year monetary value of $1.5 million (proposals due July 13, 2026). Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service via RFP with a July 16, 2026 response date. Delivery is typically required FOB Destination with prepaid transportation, and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items apply across multiple jurisdictions including Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut.
