UNSPSC 50326008: Dried wainwright pomelo

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

UNSPSC 50326008 Dried wainwright pomelo (Commodity) describes a single dried citrus product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect solicitations for dried pomelo specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous food staples rather than specialty dried citrus items. The issuing bodies are school districts, city education departments, state agencies, and state correctional systems. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) have posted IFBs for fresh produce and mixed food commodities to supply school meal programs; the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted broader food solicitations covering proteins, frozen entrées, dairy, and shelf-stable items for institutional dining. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought — no recent opportunities specifically request dried pomelo or other dried wainwright varieties.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, specialty fruits) with delivery to three school sites and a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, with electronic bids due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with delivery to one location Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm and a contract term through June 30, 2027. Both solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and HACCP plans or USDA compliance certification. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 food line items across proteins, frozen entrées, dairy, grains, and staple items for delivery to six distribution points across Texas, with the response deadline extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026. Because the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with dried pomelo procurement, this category warrants a watch posture rather than active pursuit.
