UNSPSC 50326000: Dried pomelos

An exotic large citrus fruit that is an ancient ancestor of the common grapefruit. It is the largest of the citrus fruits with a shape that can be fairly round or slightly pointed at one end (the fruit ranges from nearly round to oblate or pear-shaped). They range from cantaloupe-size to as large as a 25-pound watermelon and have very thick, soft rind. The skin is green to yellow and slightly bumpy; flesh color ranges from pink to rose. They can range from almost seedless to very seedy, from juicy to dry, from sweet to sour.

It is sweeter than a grapefruit and can be eaten fresh, although membranes around the segments should be peeled. pomelos commonly have 16 to 18 segments, compared to most grapefruit that have about 12 segments. It has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326000 Dried pomelos, a Class code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity in the provided source. Recent solicitations tagged to this code are uniformly for broad fresh produce, grocery, and food supply contracts serving school districts, correctional facilities, and other public institutions; dried pomelos specifically appear in none of the opportunities. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) lists over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and specialty items, but does not name pomelos. The Santa Clara County ITB for Dried Fruits and Nuts (due February 5, 2026) procures raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans—not dried pomelos. The coding mismatch suggests either a data classification error or a procurement system that incorrectly indexed these opportunities.

The source records broad food procurement activity across school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), county jails and prisons (Santa Clara County detention, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state buying cooperatives in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Virginia. IFBs and RFPs dominate, with response dates from late January through late June 2026. School nutrition programs represent the largest buying segment, procuring annual fresh-produce and grocery supply contracts at estimated values ranging from $1.1 million (Douglas County Area Two) to $9 million (Douglas County food distribution). Because the code itself does not align with any individual opportunity in the dataset, no concrete market signal for dried-pomelo demand emerges from these records.
