UNSPSC 50333308: Dried organic star ruby grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50333308 Dried organic star ruby grapefruit is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader fresh and processed produce sourcing for school nutrition and correctional-facility food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state correctional departments bundling dried fruit items into larger commodity RFPs alongside fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, and pantry staples rather than issuing standalone bids for specific dried-fruit lines. The work involves meeting USDA grade and certification standards, adhering to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), providing HACCP plans and nutritional data, and delivering on FOB Destination terms to designated receiving locations within firm-fixed pricing windows that typically run one to two years.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent activity centers in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026), which specified over 200 fresh-produce line items with delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027; City of Bridgeport COMMODITIES (IFB posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026), which bundled 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Nutrition Center; and Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (IFB posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026 as extended via Addendum No. 2, spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points through August 31, 2027 with optional renewal). Dried organic star ruby grapefruit appears in these bids as part of commodity aggregation rather than as a standalone line item, reflecting procurement consolidation typical of school lunch and institutional food service contracting.
