UNSPSC 50326002: Dried hirado buntan pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as hirado buntan pomelo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326002 Dried hirado buntan pomelo, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific dried citrus product—hirado buntan pomelo—yet the recent opportunities identified under this classification involve broad fresh produce and grocery solicitations with no mention of dried hirado buntan pomelo or related specialty dried citrus items. School districts, county education systems, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing bodies active in dried fruit procurement, but they are purchasing mainstream dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, prunes, tropical fruit mixes) and fresh produce staples rather than the niche commodity this code describes. The mismatch suggests either that the code assignment in state procurement systems is imprecise or that dried hirado buntan pomelo is not a line item state and local buyers actively solicit.

Recent opportunities in the dried-fruit space include the County of Santa Clara's February 2026 ITB for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional food services; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's February 2026 IFB for whole pitted dried prunes (1,400-box minimum order); and scattered produce line items in larger grocery contracts such as Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB covering fresh citrus fruits and the Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 solicitation for grocery items spanning dried and fresh goods. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), California (Santa Clara), Texas, Missouri, and Connecticut. Because the code does not align with the actual commodities being purchased in recent solicitations, business development interest in this specific code is unlikely to be productive without clarification of whether state procurement offices are applying it correctly or whether dried hirado buntan pomelo is simply not part of current state and local buying patterns.
