UNSPSC 50316002: Organic hirado buntan pomelo

The variety of organic pomelos known as organic hirado buntan pomelo

UNSPSC 50316002 Organic hirado buntan pomelo, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's definition—a specific Asian citrus variety—does not match the work actually being solicited under opportunities tagged to this code. Recent postings under 50316002 span school district food service procurement for fresh produce, bananas, eggs, and beverages, none of which are hirado buntan pomelos or even limited to organic citrus. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement databases or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for broader produce categories.

School districts across Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity, with issuing bodies including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System acting as the GEC Buying Cooperative for a 30-district regional pool. Recent representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (approximately 5,900 servings weekly, closing July 29, 2026); Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract, sealed bids due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering approximately 72 produce line items for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One (bids due March 4, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with Wisconsin also represented. Most school district food service procurements use RFB, RFP, or IFB notice types, require HACCP plans and traceability documentation, enforce Buy American provisions, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. This code does not appear to represent a distinct market opportunity aligned to hirado buntan pomelos specifically.
