UNSPSC 50303306: Rio red grapefruit

The variety of grapefruit known as rio red grapefruit

UNSPSC 50303306 Rio red grapefruit is a Commodity code representing fresh citrus fruit procured by school districts, municipal child nutrition programs, and other local food service operations. The code captures actual purchasing activity around fresh grapefruit supply for institutional meal programs, though recent solicitations show the work appearing primarily as a line item within broader fresh produce contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with purchases from independent school districts (including Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Madison Metropolitan School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and rural Georgia districts), county boards of education, city school systems, Head Start agencies, and municipal child nutrition programs. State entities and cooperative purchasing consortiums also solicit under adjacent produce codes, though grapefruit-specific standalone awards are rare in the recent posting record.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and the upper Midwest, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts procuring fresh produce for institutional meal service. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal support including beverages and food products with response due August 4, 2026, while Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce across apple varieties, berries, citrus fruits, and vegetables for three school locations. The GEC Buying Cooperative issued RFP SN 26-004 on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million and proposal deadline March 4, 2026. Most school nutrition procurement uses cost-plus or firm fixed-price structures with weekly or bi-weekly delivery requirements, Buy American compliance obligations, HACCP plan submissions, and insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability. Recent activity shows grapefruit appearing as one line item among 40–200 produce SKUs rather than as a primary procurement focus, indicating limited standalone pursuit opportunity under this specific code.
