UNSPSC 50303301: Burgundy grapefruit

The variety of grapefruit known as burgundy grapefruit

UNSPSC 50303301 Burgundy grapefruit, a Commodity code, represents fresh citrus procured by state and local food service operations supporting child nutrition, school meals, and institutional feeding programs. State and local buyers solicit burgundy grapefruit as one line item within broader fresh-produce RFPs, RFBs, and ITBs that span dozens of fruit and vegetable categories; the code sees activity primarily through school districts' food service departments and child care nutrition programs operating under CACFP and National School Lunch Program frameworks. Recent solicitations show burgundy grapefruit grouped within comprehensive produce specifications alongside apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, and seasonal fruits, typically priced per unit or per case and delivered fresh on weekly or bi-weekly schedules to central warehouses and individual school sites.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon dominate recent activity under this commodity code. Representative procurements include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; the Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for purchase and distribution of food products to 13 school sites with bids due April 29, 2026; and the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP covering fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across both geographic areas. Child care programs including Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, approximately $969,460.94 in estimated procurement value with bids due June 24, 2026) and the City of Edinburg CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017 with proposals due August 4, 2026) also procure fresh citrus as part of weekly produce delivery commitments. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing where practicable, HACCP compliance with traceability and 24/7 recall capability, and delivery schedules accommodating school operational hours, typically Monday through Friday between early morning and early afternoon windows. Vendors face strict pricing discipline through USDA market index tie-backs, firm fixed pricing for contract duration, and performance standards including 95–98 percent fill rates and temperature-controlled transport via refrigerated trucks.
