UNSPSC 50333306: Dried organic rio red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50333306 Dried organic rio red grapefruit is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and processed fruit products for institutional nutrition programs, primarily school districts, state corrections facilities, and municipal food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers purchase dried fruits, fresh citrus, and other produce items—often as line items within larger food commodity contracts for school cafeterias and institutional kitchens rather than as standalone grapefruit-specific awards. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia and Texas corrections and food service operations), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). The Buy American provision requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products appears consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, and traceability for recall management.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 for Fresh Produce SY27 with a due date of June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including citrus fruits delivered to three school locations through June 30, 2027.

Pricing in school and municipal contracts must remain firm for the contract period and include all transportation and delivery; vendors are typically selected as lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria, with awards to single or multiple vendors at the buyer's discretion.
