UNSPSC 50563907: Non GMO meyer lemon purees

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO meyer lemons which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50563907 Non GMO meyer lemon purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty citrus purees and concentrate products that state and local governments acquire primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and senior services operations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reveal a much broader pattern: state and local issuing bodies are procuring shelf-stable and fresh produce items, canned and frozen fruits, dried fruit products, and comprehensive food-service commodities under catch-all food purchasing codes. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO meyer lemon purees specifically—appears narrowly specialized; the actual purchasing activity captured under UNSPSC 50563907 in recent postings spans applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce by the truckload, and general food and consumable products for institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and county purchasing offices (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-supported living centers. No single repeat buyer dominates; instead, the code sees distributed demand across corrections, health services, education, and social services agencies.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with concentrations in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 posted July 10, 2026, due July 31; ITB S2910000016975 posted May 18, 2026, due June 2), each covering approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases with FOB Destination delivery to Salem and a combined 10 percent state-preference structure (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229 posted October 13, 2026, due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products and proteins for the Department of Community Services, requiring delivery within 72 hours of order to Lawrenceville, Georgia.
