UNSPSC 50384504: Escondido lemon purees

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

UNSPSC 50384504 Escondido lemon purees is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialized citrus fruit preparations from a specific geographic origin—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code identifier. The sourced opportunities instead show solicitations for broad food service procurement including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and multi-category food supply contracts for correctional facilities, schools, and state health service providers. None of these solicitations explicitly request Escondido lemon purees or even lemon-specific products; the code appears to be a tagging misalignment rather than an active procurement category.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas ISD), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education), and county school systems (Douglas County, Muscogee County). The recent opportunities instead represent mainstream food service procurement—canned and fresh fruit, produce, dairy, proteins, and general groceries—across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice with nearly identical canned applesauce bids (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), both requesting approximately 1,904–4,760 cases at historical pricing near $21.84 per case FOB Destination. The absence of any Escondido lemon puree solicitations suggests the code is inactive for state and local procurement purposes or consistently mislabeled in posting systems; business development activity should focus on the broader commodity food categories actually being solicited rather than the narrow, specialty scope nominally described by this code.
