UNSPSC 50343304: Frozen marsh grapefruit

The variety of grapefruit known as marsh grapefruit that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343304 Frozen marsh grapefruit (Commodity) describes frozen citrus products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent solicitations show the code captures a much broader array of frozen and fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods that school districts, state institutional feeding programs, and social service agencies buy under produce and grocery line items. State and local governments are sourcing frozen citrus—and the broader frozen-produce basket—primarily through school nutrition programs, state hospital and supported living center food service, Head Start child care facilities, and county correction departments. The issuing bodies are heavily weighted toward school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Decatur City Schools, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, and Fulton County Schools in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida) alongside state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), federal-recipient organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county corrections departments (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, Oregon Department of Corrections).

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with notable secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, spanning 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products under the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026, with Buy American requirements), Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for frozen foods and produce under Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements totaling $969,460.94 (bids due June 24, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items across multiple apple and vegetable varieties (bids due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (proposals due March 4, 2026). Contracts typically run July through June aligned to school-year cycles, require firm fixed pricing with limited mid-term adjustments tied to USDA or CPI benchmarks, mandate Buy American compliance and HACCP food safety plans, and emphasize delivery logistics to multiple school or facility sites.
