UNSPSC 50333300: Dried organic grapefruit

A large citrus fruit with a bitter yellow rind and inner skin and a highly flavored somewhat acid juicy pulp produced by a small roundheaded tree (citrus paradisi) that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333300 Dried organic grapefruit is a Class code that covers dried citrus products procured by state and local school districts and corrections agencies to support nutrition programs and inmate food services. Recent solicitations show no direct procurement of dried grapefruit; instead, the code's activity centers on broader school nutrition food supply contracts that occasionally reference citrus products, along with standalone procurements for dried fruits including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state corrections departments and county sheriff's offices. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts in January 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited dried prunes in February 2026 — both representing the dried-fruit category adjacent to the grapefruit code — but no recent solicitations explicitly named dried grapefruit as a line item. Most activity clusters around comprehensive annual food supply contracts for K–12 nutrition programs rather than commodity-level dried fruit purchases.

Geographic concentration remains scattered across the South and Mid-Atlantic, with recent activity in Georgia (Liberty County and Douglas County school systems, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), Texas (TDCJ), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). The County of Santa Clara in California represents the only Western activity in the dataset. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 due date (which could include citrus items), and the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts with a February 5, 2026 deadline. Given the sparse direct activity under the dried grapefruit code itself and the absence of standalone dried-grapefruit solicitations in the recent dataset, the code warrants observation rather than immediate pursuit; vendors should monitor broader school nutrition RFPs and corrections food service contracts where dried citrus may appear as a line item within larger commodity baskets.
