UNSPSC 50323303: Dried foster grapefruit

The variety of grapefruit known as foster grapefruit that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323303 Dried foster grapefruit, a Commodity code, represents a narrow slice of school nutrition procurement in which state and local education buyers source specialized dried citrus products for cafeteria operations. Recent opportunities show school districts and state procurement bodies acquiring dried fruits—including dried prunes and other specialty produce items—as components of broader food-service commodity buys rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies active under this code are primarily school districts and state education or corrections departments conducting nutrition procurement; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear in recent solicitations posting between May and June 2026. The work involves sourcing USDA-graded dried and processed produce items that meet Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and compliance with food-safety standards including HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and nutritional labeling.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, with deliveries to three school locations and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the scope encompassed over 200 fresh and specialty produce line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, spanning approximately 382 food line items including fruits and vegetables across five geographic areas, with responses extended to May 4, 2026. The State of Georgia posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, due June 22, seeking food, supplies, and kitchen products with full details in an attached solicitation document. A Texas TDCJ dried-prunes procurement (Bid No. IW236532) from April 2026 required U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60-70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes to the Corpus Location delivery area. Dried citrus products appear as line items within these multi-category food buys rather than as primary procurement vehicles, suggesting thin standalone demand under this specific commodity code.
