UNSPSC 50306005: Pink pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as pink pomelo

UNSPSC 50306005 Pink pomelo is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of fresh produce, though recent solicitations under this code span a broad range of fruits and vegetables rather than pomelos specifically. State and local buyers purchase fresh produce through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care food programs, and regional parks. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, city and county parks departments, city human services divisions, and regional health coalitions. Most solicitations are competitive sealed bids (IFB) or requests for proposals (RFP), with contracts typically running one school or fiscal year with optional renewal terms. Vendors must comply with USDA Buy American requirements where applicable, maintain HACCP plans, carry commercial liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million minimum), demonstrate food safety compliance, and often submit to prevailing wage and E-Verify requirements depending on jurisdiction and contract value.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267411, IW267420, IW267376) with October 2026 response dates for deliveries to prison food warehouses and facilities.
