UNSPSC 50326006: Dried red shaddock pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as red shaddock pomelo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326006 Dried red shaddock pomelo is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single dried citrus product; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal minimal direct procurement of that item. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food-service purchasing across school districts, correctional facilities, and other public nutrition programs, where dried fruits appear as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food supply solicitations. State and local governments procure dried fruits and related commodities primarily through school nutrition programs serving K-12 districts, county corrections systems, and regional school cooperatives. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District) and county or state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). These entities typically bundle dried fruits—along with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees—into master grocery or nutrition-supply contracts that span hundreds of line items and annual performance periods of one or two years, with firm pricing and weekly or as-needed delivery schedules.

Opportunities cluster in Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Hancock County, and Savannah-Chatham), with additional activity in Texas (TDCJ facilities across multiple distribution points), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items for school delivery; Douglas County Schools' RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One; Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Detention Facility (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) on a five-year contract with local business preference; and Texas TDCJ's IFB for cafeteria food products (posted May 4, 2026, extended due date May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution points. All active opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance, firm pricing for the contract period, FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid, HACCP or food-safety certification, and award on a lowest-responsive-bidder or line-item-allocation basis to single or multiple vendors. Queries about amendments and addenda are typically submitted through electronic procurement portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, GEC Bonfire) with written Q&A cutoff dates five to ten days before bid opening.
