UNSPSC 50316007: Organic siamese sweet pomelo

The variety of organic pomelos known as organic siamese sweet pomelo

UNSPSC 50316007 Organic siamese sweet pomelo is a Commodity code that state and local school nutrition programs soliciting under it are actually buying fresh produce—bananas, apples, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus fruits, eggs, and dozens of other staple and specialty items for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program rather than the organic pomelo the code nominally names. School districts dominate the issuing body mix: independent school districts, county boards of education, and metropolitan school systems across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin appear repeatedly in recent solicitations, typically through the School Nutrition Program or Food Service function. Two multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles—the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County School System) and the State of Georgia—also solicit under the code on behalf of member districts. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted two RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas ($78,000 estimated annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring local sourcing within 400 miles, both due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, vegetables, melons, and citrus with delivery to three school locations, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 covering approximately 72 produce and egg line items for 30 member districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with solicitations from Hancock County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems between February and June 2026. Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas also show current activity: Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited proposals for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery to approximately 18 elementary schools with an estimated $600,000 annual budget and March 2026 response deadline; McAllen Independent School District (Texas) requested proposals for fresh produce serving 20,000 students across 31 campuses with a March 2026 deadline; and Austin Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP for fresh produce and beverages in February 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity—Madison Metropolitan's petite bananas solicitation and the aggregated produce procurements across all jurisdictions reflect institutional food service demand for a broad range of fresh fruits, vegetables, and related items, not the specific organic siamese sweet pomelo the Commodity code nominally describes. The gap between code name and actual procurement activity signals that state and local procurement offices are tagging these broad produce solicitations with this code despite limited or no specialized sourcing of the named commodity.
