UNSPSC 50326007: Dried siamese sweet pomelo

The variety of pomelos known as siamese sweet pomelo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326007 Dried siamese sweet pomelo, Commodity tier, is being solicited by state and local school nutrition programs and state correctional facilities as part of broader fresh and processed produce purchasing. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments buy individual dried fruit items and fresh produce components through school lunch nutrition RFQs and IFBs, though the nomination of this specific commodity (dried siamese sweet pomelo) diverges markedly from the actual scope of recent solicitations under the code. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year itemizes over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits, but does not list dried pomelo by name. Similarly, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's commodities IFB and the State of Georgia's food supplies solicitation both encompass broad produce categories without specific mention of dried siamese sweet pomelo. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has recently solicited whole, pitted, dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) as a discrete line item, signaling that state correctional systems do procure individual dried fruit products with detailed quality and packaging specifications, though again not this specific variety. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments managing nutrition programs or institutional food service.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, with responses due June 26, 2026, requiring sealed bids for fresh produce delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027, with Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic content in processed items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) issued a commodities IFB on June 2, 2026, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center, also subject to Buy American requirements and MBE/CBE certifications under city ordinance. The State of Georgia issued a food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, but the scope is contained in an attached PDF. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, posted a cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF) with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items for six TDCJ distribution points. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried siamese sweet pomelo; the mismatch between the commodity nomination and actual market solicitations suggests limited or no recent state and local demand for this item.
