UNSPSC 50323306: Dried rio red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50323306 Dried rio red grapefruit is a Commodity code covering dried citrus fruit products sold to state and local government nutrition programs, primarily school districts and corrections departments. State and local buyers under this code procure dried grapefruit and other dried citrus as commodity food items for institutional cafeteria operations, typically bundled within broader fresh produce or food supply contracts that span 100 to 380 line items across multiple fruit, vegetable, protein, and dairy categories. The work involves meeting USDA grade standards, providing HACCP plans and food safety certifications, complying with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), and delivering to designated institutional sites on firm fixed pricing with transportation included.

School districts and state correctional systems dominate the issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (Connecticut) both solicited fresh and processed produce under IFB notices in June 2026, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food commodity bids spanning dried fruits, proteins, and prepared foods through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. The State of Georgia also posted a general food and kitchen products solicitation in May 2026. Recent activity centers in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with the most recent representative opportunities being Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce (IFB, due June 26, 2026) and City of Bridgeport Commodities (IFB, due June 26, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) and the TDCJ Prunes solicitation (bid opening February 20, 2026) illustrate the consistent demand for dried and processed fruits within corrections food supply chains. No current solicitations explicitly and exclusively target dried rio red grapefruit; the code appears active within mixed-commodity food procurements rather than standalone specialty produce opportunities.
