UNSPSC 50306007: Siamese sweet pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as siamese sweet pomelo

UNSPSC 50306007 Siamese sweet pomelo is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically tied to pomelos and instead reflect broad fresh produce and grocery purchasing across correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, parks, and mental health facilities. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (DeSoto County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin), city school systems (Bridgeport Connecticut), municipal entities (City of San Antonio Parks & Recreation, City of Edinburg Texas), and specialized procurement entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). State and local governments are buying fresh fruit and vegetable distribution contracts—spanning individual produce items (bananas, apples, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, berries) through comprehensive grocery-supply bundles that include produce alongside proteins, dairy, paper goods, and janitorial supplies. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetables to supply the Palestine facility (IFB 267376, due October 19, 2026), the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, with bi-weekly delivery and prevailing-wage compliance required).

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Florida, with Texas showing the heaviest recent volume through TDCJ's multiple facility-based produce solicitations issued in September and October 2026. Georgia school districts dominate the school-lunch procurement space, with at least six active solicitations from county boards of education spanning May through June 2026, most requiring Buy American compliance and domestic sourcing within defined mileage ranges (typically 400 miles). School districts and state facilities consistently structure awards around firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery windows timed to food-service operations (typically early morning, 5:00–7:00 a.m. for schools), HACCP and food-safety certifications, and liability insurance minima of $500,000 to $1 million. Set-asides and preferences appear sporadically—Collier County applies a 10-point local-vendor preference, Madison Metropolitan offers a 5% preference for Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program vendors and a $0.20-per-pound discount on organic produce, and Illinois facilities impose small-business set-asides on select procurements. Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year (July–June or July–December) with renewal options extending two to four additional years by mutual agreement or district discretion, and pricing remains firm for the stated term unless escalation clauses tied to USDA agricultural indices or Consumer Price Index data are negotiated at six-month intervals.
