UNSPSC 50323300: Dried grapefruit

A large citrus fruit with a bitter yellow rind and inner skin and a highly flavored somewhat acid juicy pulp produced by a small roundheaded tree (citrus paradisi) that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323300 Dried grapefruit is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of dried citrus products, though recent state and local activity under this code centers on broader fresh produce and processed food supply to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public institutions rather than dried grapefruit specifically. School districts dominate the solicitation activity, with recent RFPs and IFBs from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all seeking fresh and processed grocery items, fresh produce, or master grocery contracts for the 2026–2027 school year. The State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued procurement notices for food and kitchen products, and Santa Clara County (California) solicited dried fruits and nuts for correctional facility food services. These solicitations typically require firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance with minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, HACCP plans or equivalent food safety certifications, and weekly or regular delivery to school sites or central distribution warehouses. Contracts generally run from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with renewal options.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), Midwest (Missouri), and West Coast (California), with the highest concentration of recent activity in Georgia. Representative current solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200-plus line items with bid opening June 29, 2026; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases RFQ for commodities to the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering direct school delivery and warehouse supply due April 27, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department Correction Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, due February 5, 2026, included a local business preference of five percent. Mismatch: the code nominal scope (dried grapefruit) does not align with the preponderance of recent solicitations under it, which emphasize fresh produce, master grocery supply, and broad food commodity distribution rather than dried citrus products alone.
