UNSPSC 50384501: Baboon lemon purees

The variety of lemons known as baboon lemons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384501 Baboon lemon purees (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a narrow, specialized product, but the most recent solicitations tagged under it are for shelf-stable and fresh food items purchased in bulk for institutional food service—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria proteins, and other commodity-category groceries for corrections facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. The code's abstract name bears no relationship to the actual scope of work state and local buyers are routing through this taxonomy entry.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types: corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), county boards of education (Georgia, Connecticut), independent school districts (Texas), state procurement offices (Illinois), county purchasing offices (Georgia), and municipal boards of education (Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic TDCJ warehouse areas due May 4, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. Activity is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with smaller volumes in other states. Given the mismatch between code nomenclature and procurement reality, this code signals a taxonomy assignment issue rather than genuine market demand for baboon lemon purees.
