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 representing a specific dried fruit product that state and local governments procure as a component of broader food-service supply contracts. The recent opportunities under this code, however, show minimal direct solicitation for dried rio red grapefruit as a standalone item; instead, the code appears embedded in larger fresh and processed produce procurements serving school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. The actual buying pattern reflects school districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional authorities sourcing diverse dried and fresh fruit items alongside vegetables, proteins, and staple goods in annual competitive bids—with dried fruits appearing as line items within master grocery contracts rather than as dedicated product categories. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), county or regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts), municipal food service departments (Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments and corrections agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county sheriff correctional facilities (Santa Clara County, California). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with IFBs and RFPs typically running annually on fixed-price contracts for July through June fiscal years.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with multiple school districts and the GEC cooperative posting overlapping procurement cycles in early 2026 (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham). Additional activity appears in Texas (TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), California (Santa Clara County), Missouri (Rockwood), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce SY27 (due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables for three school locations; Douglas County Schools' RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas; Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) requiring five line items including dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix annually to support a county correctional facility; and Rockwood R-VI's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026) to serve approximately 7,800 daily meal participants. These opportunities typically emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA nutritional standards, HACCP food-safety protocols, weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple school locations or distribution points, and firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract terms with optional annual renewals.
