UNSPSC 50563908: Non GMO volkamer lemon purees

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

UNSPSC 50563908 Non GMO volkamer lemon purees is a Commodity code covering specialty fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase shelf-stable and fresh fruit items—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce—for school districts, corrections facilities, veterans homes, senior services, and state health and human services agencies. Recent opportunities show food service procurement spanning across counties, school districts, and state departments of corrections, health services, and criminal justice. The scope extends beyond the code's nominal lemon-puree focus to encompass a broad range of fruit and produce items specified in institutional nutrition contracts, typically with brand-or-equal substitution permitted and firm fixed pricing for multi-year initial terms.

Activity appears across multiple geographies, with recent solicitations posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections (two ITBs for canned applesauce, May and July 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (multiple weekly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, June and August 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for fresh produce, June 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (informal written quotes for food items, October 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (IFB for commodities including fruit products, June 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFBs for supplemental and cafeteria food products, May and June 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB for cafeteria food products via the Comptroller's office, May 2026), and Austin Independent School District (RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, June 2026). Solicitations typically require delivery to central distribution or warehouse facilities, compliance with USDA commodity or nutritional standards, commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and competitive bidding based on lowest responsive and responsible pricing or best value. No recent opportunities specifically named non-GMO volkamer lemon purees; the code shows recent state and local activity focused on broader institutional produce and processed-fruit procurement rather than specialty citrus purees.
