UNSPSC 50333303: Dried organic foster grapefruit

The variety of organic grapefruit known as organic foster grapefruit that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333303 Dried organic foster grapefruit is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, appears narrowly applicable to school nutrition procurement. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting dried organic foster grapefruit. Instead, the code has been applied to three school district and two state agency food service contracts that solicit fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy products, canned vegetables, and dried fruits as broad commodity baskets — of which dried grapefruit (if included at all) would be one line item among hundreds. The Hancock County Schools IFB, for example, spans over 200 fresh produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and specialty items, with no specific mention of dried grapefruit. The City of Bridgeport's commodities RFQ and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food IFB similarly cast wide nets across proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, canned and fresh vegetables, and miscellaneous staples. A Texas TDCJ IFB dated April 2026 for "Prunes — Corpus Location" requests whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes, which is the closest activity to dried fruit but specified prunes rather than grapefruit.

Recent activity on this code is concentrated among school districts and correctional-facility food service operations in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Issuing bodies include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. All solicitations require Buy American compliance with a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products. Response dates have ranged from May through June 2026, with Hancock County Schools' IFB due June 26, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., Bridgeport's commodities RFQ due June 26, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., the Georgia state food supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026, and the TDCJ cafeteria food IFB extended to May 4, 2026. Vendors must provide USDA compliance confirmation, HACCP or product-formulation documentation, liability insurance, and state-specific certifications. No recent opportunities have been solicited exclusively or primarily for dried organic foster grapefruit under this code; the code's assignment appears misaligned with actual procurement scope.
