UNSPSC 50564006: Non GMO bearss lime purees

The variety of non GMO limes known as non GMO bearss limes which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564006 Non GMO bears lime purees is a Commodity code that covers purchased food items for state and local institutional food service — primarily shelf-stable canned, frozen, and fresh produce delivered to prisons, schools, senior centers, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing applesauce, fresh fruit, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (berries, citrus, root vegetables, melons, leafy greens), cafeteria proteins, and mixed shelf-stable commodities in bulk case quantities. School districts, state correctional facilities, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county senior services departments are the primary issuing bodies; the State of Illinois has posted multiple repeat procurements for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. Issuing bodies evaluate responses on price per unit or case, vendor performance history, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and demonstrated ability to meet delivery windows — typically 45 to 60 days from order issuance for frozen goods, with FOB Destination and prepaid freight required. Most solicitations permit brand-or-equal substitutions and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders, though some agencies reserve discretion to award on best value and split awards across multiple vendors by line item.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and Arizona, with the heaviest concentration in Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria procurement, HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center, and Statewide Procurement Division procurements) and Georgia (Gwinnett County senior services food purchase, Hancock County Schools fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (canned proteins, pasta, sauces, soups) due October 19, 2026, the State of Illinois weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted August 19, 2026, the Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce ITB for 4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB for 382 line items (proteins, dairy, grains, produce) with response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Buy American provisions and domestic-content minimums (51 percent for processed products) are standard in school district and public-institution procurements. Vendors typically must carry $1 million general commercial liability insurance, maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, provide three references, certify compliance with prevailing wage requirements where applicable, and submit nutritional data and manufacturer specifications with bids.
