UNSPSC 50306005: Pink pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as pink pomelo

UNSPSC 50306005 Pink pomelo is a Commodity code that has generated little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains 28 total solicitations for fresh produce, groceries, and food service items, yet none specifically target pink pomelo as a line item or primary product. Most solicitations list pomelo alongside broader produce categories—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and dozens of other items—as part of comprehensive school nutrition, child care, or senior services programs. The code's nominal scope (a single citrus fruit variety) does not align with how state and local procurement actually operates in this category: jurisdictions procure across wide produce assortments, not individual fruit SKUs in isolation.

Activity is concentrated among school districts, child care programs, and municipal nutrition services across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, with school nutrition procurement dominating the recent record. School Nutrition Programs at districts including Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Bid 26-34, 72 produce items, April 23, 2026 deadline), Dougherty County Board of Education (40 line items, June 16, 2026 due date), and Henry County Schools (52 locations, May 4, 2026 due date) all procure fresh produce through IFB or RFP notices, typically awarding to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis at fixed or cost-plus pricing. Cooperative purchasing vehicles—notably the GEC Buying Cooperative representing 30 Georgia school districts (SN 26-004, estimated $5.5 million total, March 4, 2026 deadline)—aggregate demand across districts but still source produce as broad commodity categories rather than specific varieties. Child care food programs like Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, approximately 32,409 cases, June 24, 2026 deadline) and CACFP services through the City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, August 4, 2026 deadline) similarly frame procurement in fruit and vegetable families. No recent solicitation targets pink pomelo as a distinct procurement line item or requires vendors to stock it as a standalone offering. Vendor pursuit of this code should focus on broad citrus categories (oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, lemons) within larger school and institutional nutrition contracts rather than expecting dedicated pink pomelo specifications.
