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, a Class code, covers dried citrus fruits and related processed produce that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show this code capturing bids for fresh and processed fruit sourcing across school districts, state education departments, and correctional facilities, with scope spanning dried and fresh produce line items alongside complementary proteins, dairy, and pantry staples. School nutrition centers dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Georgia state procurement all posting produce-inclusive solicitations in the past four months. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicits produce for correctional facility cafeterias, broadening the institutional buyer base beyond K–12 education.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce including citrus, berries, and specialty fruits for three school delivery locations under a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term with firm pricing and domestic agricultural commodity content requirements. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities (IFB BNB053266) due June 26, 2026, encompassing 115 line items of produce and protein for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certification preferences under city ordinance and a contract term through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including fresh and processed fruits, proteins, and staples across five Texas geographic areas and six distribution points, with optional one-year renewal periods through August 31, 2029. Georgia state procurement posted a food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026, with scope details in attached documentation. Buy American provisions and domestic content thresholds (typically 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed items) appear standard across school nutrition awards.
