UNSPSC 50343307: Frozen ruby red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50343307 Frozen ruby red grapefruit is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity despite the broad use of frozen fruit products in institutional food service. The code's nominal scope—frozen ruby red grapefruit specifically—does not align with the food procurement activity actually documented in recent state and local solicitations. Recent opportunities in this category span institutional food service for state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and county parks, but the documented procurements emphasize frozen mixed vegetables, frozen apples, frozen specialty foods, and broad frozen commodity baskets rather than grapefruit as a discrete item. School districts and state agencies request frozen produce as a line item within larger food packages, and institutional buyers specify frozen fruits by variety and case count; grapefruit does not appear as a named commodity in the recent opportunities reviewed.

State and local activity under related frozen-fruit codes concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida, driven by recurring institutional food service contracts at state health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, and regional park concessions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple fiscal-year grocery and frozen-food procurement requests in summer 2026 for state hospitals and supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited frozen apples in August 2026; and the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year in June 2026. School district requests typically cite Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content and compliance with Child and Adult Care Food Program or National School Lunch Program nutrition standards. No recent opportunities specifically name frozen ruby red grapefruit, indicating that pursuits under this code require either custom solicitation identification or outreach to buyers whose food-service RFQs bundle frozen fruit without itemizing grapefruit separately.
