UNSPSC 50316005: Organic pink pomelo

The variety of organic pomelos known as organic pink pomelo

UNSPSC 50316005 Organic pink pomelo is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh produce—specifically citrus and specialty fruits—for school nutrition programs, though the recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct alignment with organic pomelo specifically. The buying base spans school districts across multiple states, with the largest concentration in Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County coordinating through the GEC Buying Cooperative), plus activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Solicitations are predominantly issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB) or Requests for Proposal (RFP) by individual school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The actual procurement activity centers on broad fresh-produce baskets—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, citrus varieties, and prepared produce items in bulk—rather than organic pomelo as a line item. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing under Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, product traceability, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed weekly schedules.

Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000, and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two Georgia geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two) and proposals due March 4, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with 200+ line items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits, bids due June 26, 2026, and Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce (within 200 miles), proposals due May 4, 2026, illustrate geographic-preference and farm-to-school program drivers in the market. Activity is current and concentrated in the 2026 spring-through-summer period; the code itself shows no recent solicitations naming organic pomelo as a deliverable, suggesting either miscoding in the state and local system or minimal institutional demand for that specific item.
