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 is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried tropical fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The opportunities instead span broad fresh produce, dried fruits, and general food supply contracts for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. None of the recent solicitations identify dried Siamese sweet pomelo as a line item or procurement focus; the code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for food service procurement rather than a targeted category for this particular commodity. School districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) dominate the issuing bodies, along with state agencies (Georgia, Texas), counties (Santa Clara County, California), and a state purchasing division (Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice). These buyers solicit IFBs and RFPs for annual food supply contracts covering hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared foods.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) spanning approximately 382 line items for five geographic warehouse locations; and the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (due February 5, 2026) for correctional facility food service, requiring annual supply of dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans. The Douglas County School System issued a separate RFP for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000. All school nutrition contracts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), firm fixed pricing for the contract term, delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules, and HACCP or equivalent food safety certifications. The code itself shows little recent activity aligned to its specific commodity definition; activity under this code appears driven by broad school nutrition and institutional food service demand rather than targeted procurement of dried Siamese sweet pomelo.
