UNSPSC 50306008: Wainwright pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as wainwright pomelo

UNSPSC 50306008 Wainwright pomelo is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single produce item—the Wainwright pomelo, a citrus variety—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broad food procurement across school districts, municipal agencies, and child care organizations rather than pomelo-specific sourcing. The disconnect between the code's narrow product scope and the diversity of institutional food buying under it suggests either data-taxonomy misalignment or that the code functions as a catch-all for specialty fruit procurement within broader food service solicitations. State and local buyers using this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Glynn County, Early County, Liberty County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, McAllen ISD, Meriden Public Schools, Central Point School District, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools), municipalities and counties (City of Edinburg, City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, DeSoto County, Santa Clara County), and specialized child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Boys & Girls Club). Solicitation types span RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs across multiple regions.

Recent procurement activity concentrates heavily in Georgia (Bulloch County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Glynn County, Early County, Liberty County, Bryan County, Dougherty County) and Texas (City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), with additional activity in Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's sealed bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), the GEC Buying Cooperative's fresh produce and eggs RFP covering 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $5.5 million across both geographic areas), Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB for grocery products with estimated value of $969,460.94 (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce and beverages (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026). The code's actual procurement volume reflects institutional scale child nutrition and food service contracts where fresh produce—including specialty citrus and pomelos when available—appears as line items within larger comprehensive food baskets rather than sole-source pomelo buys.
