UNSPSC 50343300: Frozen grapefruit

A large citrus fruit with a bitter yellow rind and inner skin and a highly flavored somewhat acid juicy pulp produced by a small roundheaded tree (citrus paradisi) that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343300 Frozen grapefruit, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the source material. The recent opportunities tagged under or near this code show no solicitations specifically for frozen grapefruit. Instead, the source contains seventeen solicitations spanning frozen fruits and berries, fresh produce, ice cream and frozen novelties, dried fruits and nuts, comprehensive grocery and food service procurement for schools and state institutions, and food distribution services. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source records or that frozen grapefruit sits within a broader family code that encompasses many frozen and fresh fruit categories not reflected in the narrower commodity code itself.

The issuing bodies in these records are predominantly school districts and state agencies—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Big Spring State Hospital, El Paso State Supported Living Center), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (supporting Bridgeport Board of Education), Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fulton County Schools and Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the County of Santa Clara (California), and the State of Georgia. The geographic spread includes Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Oregon, and California, with Georgia appearing as the most active state for school nutrition procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting school lunch programs (due June 30, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for grocery products across frozen foods, produce, and meat (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, with estimated value $969,460.94). These solicitations consistently emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP protocols, food safety certifications, and delivery performance across multiple school or state facility locations. The code itself shows limited direct relevance to current state and local procurement activity in the dataset.
