UNSPSC 50384600: Lime purees

The type of small globose yellowish green fruit of a lime with a usually acid juicy pulp used as a flavoring agent and as a source of vitamin c produced by a spiny tropical citrus tree (citrus aurantifolia) with elliptical oblong narrowly winged leaves which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384600 Lime purees, a Class code, does not match the recent state and local opportunities documented in the source. The code's nominal scope—lime fruit concentrates and puree products—bears no relationship to the food products state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities instead reflect broad food service procurement across school districts, state agencies, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities purchasing canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees for institutional meal programs. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code name and the actual procurement activity suggests either a categorization error in the source data or a systemic tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County school systems), state departments and corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois), and municipal education bodies (Bridgeport Board of Education). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case delivered to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products with a historical annual value of $1.5 million for the El Paso State Supported Living Center; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (February 18, 2026) for main-line food service distribution serving 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 27, 2026) for weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens. Award decisions emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidders, compliance with Buy American and nutritional standards, past performance, and best value determinations rather than price alone.
