UNSPSC 50563900: Non GMO lemon purees

The type of non GMO lemons known as non GMO lemons which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50563900 Non GMO lemon purees (Class) covers canned and processed fruit products sourced by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code tag show a broader mix of fruit commodities—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and eggs—than the narrowly specified lemon-puree scope suggests. State and local procurement offices, school districts, and health and human services agencies are the primary buyers. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) appear across the recent opportunities. The code shows significant activity among school nutrition programs procuring food service supplies under competitive bidding, with issuing bodies spanning state departments, county school districts, city school boards, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions.

Geographic concentration centers on the South and Southwest: Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), and Connecticut appear repeatedly in the 2026 posting record. Oregon Department of Corrections and Illinois Chief Procurement Office represent activity in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case historical pricing with Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent); Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products due July 13, 2026 with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. School nutrition contracts typically run July through June with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, Buy American compliance, and award to lowest responsive bidder or best value across multiple vendors by line item.
