UNSPSC 50384603: Mandarin lime purees

The variety of limes known as mandarin limes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384603 Mandarin lime purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing shelf-stable fruit products — applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce — for food service operations across institutional settings including schools, senior services, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The scope reflects institutional bulk purchasing of commodity food items rather than specialty citrus products; the code's nominal name does not align with the recent opportunities the source supports. Recent solicitations span school districts, county boards of education, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and county senior services. Issuing bodies include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia).
