UNSPSC 50333307: Dried organic ruby red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50333307 Dried organic ruby red grapefruit is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show the code receiving minimal activity specific to this exact product line. School districts, county correctional facilities, and state departments issue most of the food service procurement in this family, but dried grapefruit itself appears rarely in solicitations; instead, districts and facilities buy broader dried fruit assortments, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery supplies that may include dried fruits as incidental line items. The few instances where dried fruits are explicitly solicited—such as Santa Clara County's procurement of dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for the Elmwood Correctional Facility, or sporadic line items within larger school nutrition RFPs—suggest that dried grapefruit, if procured at all, moves as part of consolidated food-service buys rather than standalone requests. Institutional buyers emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA grading, food safety certification (HACCP plans, recall procedures), and firm fixed pricing across annual contract periods running July to June.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and regional school districts, with secondary activity in Texas corrections, California county facilities, Connecticut municipalities, and Virginia school systems. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, solicited commodities including produce on June 26, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought grocery items encompassing over 900 SKUs on April 29, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across five warehouse locations with an extended response date of May 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB on April 27, 2026, and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) requested fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative buying vehicle with responses due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts at an estimated $5.5 million spend. No recent opportunities explicitly name dried organic ruby red grapefruit as a line item, indicating limited current demand or classification misalignment with this specific commodity code.
