UNSPSC 50394104: Organic escondido lemon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394104 Organic escondido lemon purees is a Commodity code that represents processed fruit products—though the recent state and local opportunities do not feature lemon purees specifically. Instead, buying entities tag solicitations under this code for canned and processed fruit items including applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit products destined for institutional food service, particularly in correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), county boards of education (Muscogee County, Douglas County), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport). School districts dominate the recent activity, with many posting annual or multi-year food service contracts covering 200 to 900+ line items of grocery and produce items; state facilities procurement appears secondary but growing.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with concentration in the Southeast and Texas. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted repeated applesauce contracts (ITBs S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), signaling a standing need. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice have issued large supplemental food procurements (IFBs HHS0016792V2, HHS0017449, 304T26300CF) covering state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) have issued multiple fresh produce and food service RFPs and IFBs with response dates clustered in March through June 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) due April 27, 2026. Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted a quarterly food order solicitation. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posted parallel procurements for Net Off Invoice products and grocery items (both due April 29, 2026). Dallas ISD posted an RFP for specialty food products (JC250079) due April 2, 2026. Code activity is active and recurring—annual school-year cycles dominate, with most opportunities posted February through July and response dates compressed into a two- to three-week window. No recent opportunities in the source match the code's stated "organic escondido lemon purees" precisely; the code appears misaligned with actual purchasing patterns, which favor generic processed fruit, applesauce, and commodity fruit products supplied to institutional food service rather than specialty organic citrus purees.
