UNSPSC 50336000: Dried organic pomelos

An exotic large citrus fruit that is an ancient ancestor of the common grapefruit. It is the largest of the citrus fruits with a shape that can be fairly round or slightly pointed at one end (the fruit ranges from nearly round to oblate or pear-shaped). They range from cantaloupe-size to as large as a 25-pound watermelon and have very thick, soft rind. The skin is green to yellow and slightly bumpy; flesh color ranges from pink to rose. They can range from almost seedless to very seedy, from juicy to dry, from sweet to sour.

It is sweeter than a grapefruit and can be eaten fresh, although membranes around the segments should be peeled. pomelos commonly have 16 to 18 segments, compared to most grapefruit that have about 12 segments. It has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336000 Dried organic pomelos is a Class code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried pomelo fruit; however, the recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly solicit fresh produce, fresh eggs, general grocery items, and other food categories for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and public health departments. The few dried-fruit references in the dataset—dried prunes from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and dried fruits and nuts from Santa Clara County—do not align with pomelos specifically. The taxonomic mismatch between the code's scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the source or that pomelos (dried or fresh) represent a negligible purchasing line item within broader commodity categories. No recent solicitation explicitly names pomelos among its line items or specifications.

School districts and corrections departments dominate the issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block, with secondary activity from county purchasing offices. The geographic footprint spans Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Texas (Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office), and California (Santa Clara County). Relevant recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce (IFB #SN002-2027, sealed bids due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 fresh produce line items; Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (NUTRIKIDS electronic submissions due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT) encompassing over 900 line items; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 Fresh Produce and Eggs (due March 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST via DCSS Bonfire portal) serving 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending. Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and firm-fixed pricing are standard. The absence of pomelo-specific demand in these records indicates minimal or no current state and local purchasing activity under this code.
