UNSPSC 50384508: Volkamer lemon purees

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

UNSPSC 50384508 Volkamer lemon purees (Commodity) represents a narrow, highly specialized category that does not align with the active state and local procurement activity on record. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show no purchases of Volkamer lemon purees or citrus purees of any kind; instead, they document purchases of broad-based shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service—including fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit, proteins, dairy, condiments, and miscellaneous groceries. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are tagged or that Volkamer lemon purees do not drive material procurement volume in state and local jurisdictions today. Issuing bodies sourcing under this code include county boards of education (Hancock County), state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), school districts (Austin ISD), cities (Bridgeport), and health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC). None of the recent opportunities name Volkamer lemon purees specifically; most cover dozens to hundreds of line items spanning fruits, vegetables, proteins, and staples for school nutrition, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, and state supported living centers.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and South-Central United States (Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut), but the recent opportunities are primarily food-service contracts of broad scope rather than procurement of this specific commodity. The most recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal proposals due August 24, 2026 (solicitations 27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, historical price $21.84 per case) with bids due July 31, 2026, and a 10 percent Oregon preference (S2910000017453). The code shows no identifiable activity specifically targeting Volkamer lemon purees, making it difficult to assess current market demand or pricing pressure under this specific commodity classification.
